You can use VGMToolbox to unpack the AWB file in Windows. AWB files that contain audio saved in the ADX2 format store multiple .HCA or HCA-MX files. HCA files are encoded with the High Compression Audio (HCA) proprietary codec and HCA-MX files are encoded with the HCA-MX codec.

NOTE: AWB files are typically seen with .ACB files in the game installation directory.
