In the NWN2 toolset, the soundset.2da file defines the sound sets that are available for selection in a creature blueprint. Many of the sounds sets have their ancestry in NWN, and examination of the NWN2 SSF files shows the individual sound names match the sound files in NWN. Unfortunately, a large number of these sound files were never migrated from NWN to NWN2, so the sound sets with those sound files are non-functional.
This library is intended to address this limitation by providing the missing .wav files. To locate the missing sound files, I looked through the soundset.2da file for rows with no STRREF value. The individual SSF file was examined with the toolset's Sound Set Editor plugin, and the .wav files extracted from NWN using the NWN Explorer tool.
Note that if you use this set in combination with the Sound Set Selection Menu Fix, you won't need to use the 'soundset.2da' file from that mod.
Downloads
For easier download and maintenance, I've archived the sound file sets in three hak files. The following list shows the sound sets that are enabled by each hak file.
snd_companions.hak – full sound set
snd_npcs.hak – some non-combat responses
snd_creatures.hak – minimal combat set
SSF_fixes – this contains replacement SSF files that fix most of the issues with Sound Sets not playing in the toolset. (Flagged with an asterisk above.) Just add it to your override folder.

Thanks for this, that'll be very useful for the Formians and Faerie Dragon. I'll probably update the blueprints for the wraith spiders and slaads (I see there are files corresponding to them here too).
"Gordon", I think you meant gorgon
This is great stuff.
Fixed now. Thank you.
The NWN henchman wave files (AvHen*) are already in NWN2 (for some reason). There are also sound files associated with the minotaur and hobgoblin soundsets, although they may not be complete.
Other than those few, the new additions should prove useful.
For several of them I just added the few missing sound files that completed the set, such as for the *Chf and *Wiz variants.
