Extracting Game Audio

Extracting Tools:

EternalAudioExtractor by proteh - Download
Exports WEM & OPUS audio from SND files for Windows OS.

EternalAudioExtractorLinux by PowerBall253 - Download
Exports WEM & OPUS audio from SND files for Linux OS.

Currently, there are no released packages for either extraction tool.
You will either need to find a compiled version in the 2016+ Modding Discord server
or compile it with a C# compiler.

Make sure you have at least 2.00 GB of storage if you plan on extracting music.
550 MB for sound effects, 50 MB for voice overs (for each language).

Extraction Instructions:

Instructions are for Windows users.

  • Extract the contents of EternalAudioExtractor somewhere on your machine.
  • Launch either "Extract_All.bat" or "Extract_Single.bat" depending if you want to extract all sound files or from a single directory.
  • Copy and paste the filepath of your DOOMEternal installation directory.
    ( ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal )
  • Input the name of the .snd file you want to extract (if applicable).
  • Input the name of the output directory. Make sure the directory is either empty or nonexistent.
  • If you are extracting music files, press [Y] to enable automatic .ogg conversion.
  • If necessary, press [Y] again to enable the extraction of unused sound files.
