Tools i used :
wwiseutil used to inspect, extract and modify .bnk *
vgmstream to unpack .wem to .wav **
audacity to convert other files (mp3) to .wav
wwise to repack .wav back to .wem


Content\WwiseAudio\Windows\RTG.bnk


1. Open RTG.bnk with wwiseutil
2. Extract all .wem
3. Unpack all .wem with vgmstream. Drag n drop onto test.exe.
4. Listen to and locate files you want.
In my case 07.wem ID 408208525 and 16.wem ID 896275896. At the time used bnkextr.exe so i didnt had the information that 07 and 16 were looping which you can see with wwiseutil.
5. Use audacity to convert blank_audio.mp3 to .wav
6. Use wwise to repack blank_audio.wav into blank_audio.wem. ***
7. Use wwiseutil GUI to replace 07.wem and 16.wem with blank_audio.wem.
8. IMPORTENT save as new RTG.bnk do not overwrite the file you have open with wwiseutil. *
9. We done.







Man that was a painful process of figuring everything out, especially if you dont know what you are doing hehe. There probably is a better way to go about this but this is how i managed to do it.

* This software is a little buggy. Make sure to never save as > replace  file that you have open with wwiseutil. This causes the file to get corrupted, always save as new .bnk

** I was unsuccessful in unpacking .wem files with ww2ogg as instructed by wwiseutil readme which lead me to this issue page. Idk if i was doing something wrong with ww2ogg cant tell cause im noob.  :|


additional files and sites i went trough : 
- drag and drop .bnk on to bnkextr.exe for quick extraction.
- Monkeyman BNK Compiler can compile .wem to .bnk. Extract .bnk with .hirc file and .wem with original ids. Direct DL link: http://puu.sh/xcDcD/2ecc9d7c1d.zip
