The following is a listing of the sound effect files in the various versions of Sonic Adventure.
In the Dreamcast and GameCube versions, sound effects are stored in Masaru/Manatee sound driver files (.mlt) and the contents of the Dreamcast version's files can be extracted with MLTExtract, a program included with SA Tools. There is currently no easy method to create or edit these files.
In the PC versions of the game, sound effects are stored in .dat files located in SYSTEM\SOUNDDATA\SE (2004) or SoundData\SE (2010). SADXsndSharp can edit these. An older, command line extractor can be found here, and a packer is here.
In the 2004 port, sound effects are in WAV format; in the 2010 port, they are in ADX format.
