AWB is an audio archive format developed by CRI Middleware. It is mainly used in PC games and games on PlayStation consoles, but it can be found elsewhere. AWB files usually either contain HCA or ADX sound filetypes. They are commonly found in CPK archives.

The first four bytes of the file always have the value 0x41465332 ("AFS2").
