I tried using PSound but it only gave me two sounds.
I also tried using VGMTrans but the sounds were cut-off.
Here is the link.
It contains one VB file and one VH file.
I've looked into the audio files for a bit to try understand what the files refer to. I will tell my findings here.
First, let's look at what's known about FIFA Street. FIFA Street was released in 2012 and shares a lot of similarities in file structures to FIFA 12, but also a lot of similar structures to FIFA 10 (which was different to FIFA 12), most probably because the game was already in development at that time.
In FIFA 12 the songs (EATrax) and almost all audio are in a .sbr/.sbs audiobank, in FIFA Street many files are in those banks aswell, but it also uses EA's .abk and the music is in EA's .mus/.mpf format. Knowing the history about this format is that it is mostly used for "interactive" music. The audio inside the .mus is in ealayer3 format.
This is why in FIFA Street there is no usual "EA Trax" section in the menus where you can turn on/off music or there is no way to skip a song, unlike the other FIFA games.
Now, how does the music work in FIFA Street? Inside the menus you have the full song, for example Unorthodox by Wretch 32 ft. Example. So as long as you are browsing the menus, the songs are being played. However, once you go into a match, the songs are now in "instrumental" version. During the intro cinematics of a match, you'll hear the beginning of the instrumental of the song (about 10 seconds of it) and it keeps being looped until the intro ends and the gameplay starts. From the moment the gameplay starts, the whole instrumental is being played for the duration of the half of the match (so in the 2nd half of the game you'll hear the instrumental of another song). However, once you score a goal, the instrumental transitions into a certain part of the full song with vocals (usually the chorus/refrain) until the gameplay starts again, in which case it transitions into the instrumental again. Once the half ends, you again have a cinematic in which the players walk off the pitch. During this cinematic and the half time screen, you'll hear the instrumentals of the ending of the song (let's say last 10 seconds) and this keeps being looped until the 2nd half starts (in which case the instrumental of another song starts) or until returning to the main menus (in which case another full version of a song starts).
Using VGMstream we can see how this works. The 1st audio file is the complete song (3 minutes long). The following audio files afterwards are cut into small parts (3/4/5/6 seconds) and these all form the complete instrumental of the song. The first few parts are the ones used like described above in the "intro" of the match, the majority of the parts are the "gameplay" instrumental and the final few parts are the "end cinematic" instrumental. Following the complete instrumental, you find another few small parts which are used as the "goalsong" in which the vocals are added. After this, the process above is repeated for other songs in the game (there are 23 songs in the game), leading to a total of 1073 parts being played in VGMstream.
Now, the .mpf and .mus file were found in audiodata/pathfinder folder. Inside this folder there are other files, which probably help the game identify the songs and what they are used for. These are the files:
-loadfile.xml
-path_adapter.csi
-pathcontext_events.csi
-csis_path_adapter.xml
-pathcontext_eventsystem.bin
-path_adapter_events.bin
-path_contextdata.bin
-textscripts.dat
I decided to look into the csis_path_adapter.xml and found this:

After finding this I looked into the .csi and .bin files using a hex-editor and I found the same "eventnames" included in most of them, but I don't know what the values mean. I understood some things, but again, I am not an expert in this stuff, so I hope someone who might understand more can find out what these files do together.
I have included all the necessary files and hope someone can find out what the files mean and how they are linked and hopefully find a way to replace or add files.

I wuold like to extract the SoundData.PAC file here. I've included the QuickBMS filecutter results as well.
https://mega.nz/folder/I9QBkKrQ#W3rQGAyJ05_5cL7rVq4yDg
I originally asked for help on Zenhax. Here's what aluigi replied with (don't know if the hex will format properly...).
"There is some obfuscation in place.
32bit equal to one, followed by 0x40 bytes xored with 0x40 (example of GameData.pac):
ba b1 8a 56 42 45 53 45 30 30 2e 49 4d 47 00 00 ...VBESE00.IMG..
7e e9 d1 77 00 00 40 00 60 90 39 01 f6 0c 10 00 ~..w..@.`.9.....
90 e9 d1 77 60 90 39 01 00 00 40 00 10 1f 54 00 ...w`.9...@...T.
00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 c0 ff 12 00 43 b2 82 56 ..@.........C..V
Followed by a 32bit offset field but not sure what's the content from 0x48 to that offset, it's for sure xored with the same 0xac since there are some readable strings there.
I suppose it's compressed with some lzss algorithm and this reminds me of some game that used that algorithm with the data of the copy opcode xored with some constant that (if I remember correctly) was just 0xac.
Unfortunately I don't remember what was the game or maybe I'm confusing it with the lzss used in Allegro which uses xor on the flag and repeated characters."
If anyone has any idea of how to go about this, it'd be appreciated. The soundtrack is great! I'm probably going to buy it and just rip the FLAC later, but I wanted to also post this format here for posterity and investigation in case some other game also uses it down the line.
Thank you.

I got the files out using Umodel, there are ACB 1.29 archives that can be unpacked using VGMToolBox but the .bin files inside do not seem to be HCA or have header info beyond "CRI".
Here are samples https://mega.nz/folder/7OJ2CC7C#cCvY_oSeutNBHBLfOQQ0hw
Additionally the .bins do not look like HCAs going by the hex data but I cannot find any info to indicate what they could be.
Any help is appreciated.
I am currently trying to extract bnk files from the demo for Ninjala known as Ninjala Exclusive Ninja Club, that's on the Nintendo Switch running UE4 4.24. I try the traditional method of extracting the bnk files, putting all the wem extracted files into one area, and using ww2ogg.exe and revorb.exe to output into a ogg file. Unfortunately, I have this error be the output for all of the wem files:
Parse error: RIFF truncated
Here is also what the header looks like for most of the wem files extracted:
If anyone wants the bnk files to test with, here is a sample of one of the files here:
Chara_Create.bnk
If there is any further information needed, let me know.
so i wanted to do something with my notebook on the free time that i have here. i chose to datamine the Xbox version of Gladius (2003) and i came up with this.
documenting this whole thing was rather quick as .XBB, .XSB and .FLO files were always there on that version as opposed to sound files always being stored into a singular .bec archival file as has been done with PS2 and GameCube versions of said game. said game still uses .bec files for everything else though, except FMVs.
speaking of which, the game uses CRI middleware stuff for its FMV parts. in other words the game uses .sfd files, and for the Xbox version of the game, .aix files. those will not be covered here though.
I tried swapping a regular MIDI file (flourish.mid for example) into the game, but the game couldn't play that song.
Maybe the CROB MIDIs are encrypted and they're probably FSB files in disguise in which they contain original MIDI files.
Each MIDI file in CROB starts with the number 7. The number 7 might be the first letter of the password.
Can you please help me on decrypting all the MIDI files in CROB?
Here's a link containing all the encrypted MIDIs, including the soundfont file
MIDIs renamed into FSBs if they don't work
