Here is my DSG_Settings for starfiled, is this right or not?

Data1.Name=Data1a-01.bin
Data1.InclText=*.ba2
Data1.ExclText=
Data1.Method1=xtool:mstarfield+xtool:mreflate:dd3+ LZMA-MT
Data2.Name=Data1b-01.bin
Data2.Method1=xtool:c256mb:mbk2:df20p+LZMA-MT
Data2.InclText=*.bk2
Data3.Name=Data1c-01.bin
Data3.Method1=xtool:dd3
Data3.ExclText=*.ba2|*.bk2

Quite a lot of audio in Starfield is WWISE PCM - meaning you can use MSC on it.

Other type of WWISE audio is Vorbis, which you can read more about in WemTool topic.

xtool:mstarfield+xtool:mreflate+srep_new+lolz/lzma seems correct for all .ba2 files except WWise Sound files. Also as of now, DSG won't be able to extract the files. You need to do it with your installer only.
