Yeah, what Java said, I do it all the time.

My XBOX and/or PS2 red/white line into my PC and on into Sound Forge.

The first hundred or so (maybe less) black bottom PS1 games actually had audio on tracks 2-???. 1st track was programming data but the rest was audio. That type of game programming on PS1/2 usually doesn't happen anymore but try throwing in TOMB RAIDER1 and 2 into your CD Audio player and move to trk2 and see what happens. I've been doing stuff like that since '96.

Or, and this is a big OR/IF:

If you have an audio device with optical inputs, say a multitracker or an expanded sampler of some kind, the PS2 has optical out. This is great for grabbing pristine sound. Same goes for sampling DVDs and CDs on PS2!

Course, my uffin PS2's sound is messed up and I don't think the optical port works either. And Sony wants 98 bucks to fix! Ha! I'll play without sound for a while, thanks.

I was thinking there was more of a way to get to the audio folder (audio files only) thru the computer and be able to scan all audio data without going thru the whole game.

There is a Digital Output on/off settings in options on the PS2.
Turn it on. If that doesn't work THEN it might be bad.

Some games have sound previews in the options, some don't. Some older games (black bottom ps1) you can just place in any CD player and play trk 2-?? and you might hear audio samples and sounds from the game. Other than that you just have to go the old tried and proven route of line in on MPC.
