    You can't edit, you have to create a new sound bank for this.
    Download the FMOD DEsigner 4.38 here:

    <a href="http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/version/fmoddesigner43800win-installer.exe" target="_blank">http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/vers...n-installer.exe</a>

    In FMOD Designer then:
    File -> New Project, save it in the ns2 mod folder under /sounds, then right-click under the tree at the left side and select "Add Event Group".

    Call it like your Mod, so for the combat mod i named it "combat". After that, right click on that new group and click again on "Add Event Group".
    This will create a subgroup into your new group (you could also load every sound in the main group, but its clearer to create subgroups).
    Now you can start adding some sounds, the easiest way to do that is just drag your file and drop it in the desired subgroup.

    When youre done, click Porject -> build, select your soundbank and press build.
    If you have not saved everything in your sound folder, copy your .fsb and .fsv file and copy it in the sound directory.

    To test it, you can add the following code into your mod:

    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->testSound = PrecacheAsset("sound/yourFile.fev/balbla/soundblabla")
    function OnCommandSoundTest(client)

        local player = client:GetControllingPlayer()

        Print("Soundtest")    
        Server.PlayPrivateSound(player, testSound, player, 1.0, Vector(0, 0, 0))

    end

    Event.Hook("Console_soundtest",       OnCommandSoundTest)<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    thx a lot for your help
    but i still have a problem when i build the project i got this error (check end of list )

    so i guess i do something wrong but what ....
    i will explain step by step how i produce

    1- i exctract all sound from marine_3.fsb with fsbexctractor (in wav) then i replace the sound i want by an other wav file
    2 - in FMOD Designer i build new project then i add event group
    3 - i drag and drop all my files in event group (in bank, file compression is in pcm )
    4 - i click on project/build... i select my bank sound then i press build and i got this error :

    Summary of build:
    <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><b>SUCCESS: C:/Users/Blackbow/Desktop/work shop/M 41 A PULSE RIFLE/sound/alien_rifle_sound.fev
    FAIL : C:/Users/Blackbow/Desktop/work shop/M 41 A PULSE RIFLE/sound/alien_rifle_sound_bank00.fsb</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    <b>edit :</b> ok i supose problem come from my wav files i extracted from the originale fsb file
    exept vlc, fmod designer or any other sound program cant read the new extracted wav file from fsb extractor
    what i have to do ????
    please !!!!! :'(

    (sry for my bad english)

    edit 2 : after spend lot of hours on google and tutorials ...
    it look my wav files was in adpcm and i had to encode it in pcm to work in fmod designer
    so i add all wav in fmod i build then i got a file of 42 mb instead of 8 mb
    and i changed only one sound
    so i replace the original fsb by the new one and in game i lost all sound from the marines_3.fsb
    like reload sound ...
    i'm on it since 2 days testing lot of programs and tutorials
    and i start to be crazy !!!

    I ve done it like JimWest has discribed it.
    - opened new roject,
    - rightclick on "untitled",
    - added new event group, named it to: MainMenue_Theme
    - drag and dropped the music.fsb file into it

    But I m unable to select the Intro Theme, its just one big audiofile

    You can't drop the fsb into it, you can only drop sound files into the FMOD Designer,
    you have to create your own fsb file.

    Ok I will create my own music.fsb file, but the game has to know which of these files are played as mainmenue_theme for expl.
    Or What .fsb file I ve to use to alter the mainmenue_theme?

    Update:
    Ok I succesfully created my modified .fsb file
    - I used the FSB Extractor:http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=118938&hl=fmod)
    - renamed my altered soundfile to the one i want to change and copied it into folder
    - drag&dropped all soundfiles in my event subfolder in FMOD
    - clicked build

    But I get the same problem as Blackbow: The .fsb file gets over 130mb big (before it was 22mb)
    My modified soundfiles are in .mp3 format (Lame 48000hz 320kbps stereo)
    Anybody knows a clue???

    <b><!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Update:<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> </b>
    Ok got it right now:

    after drag&drop soundfiles to event subfolder click "Banks" in the top left corner, select you soundback on the left, change compression metho(right corner) to mp3, change "compression quality" to 100 and then go project->build->select your soundbank-> click build and youre done :)
