First: All files in games distributed by Steam are stored in special encoded archives, (most of the games, there are exceptions) which can be seen in the screenshot. (extensions tmp, vpk and cache)

Secondly: Has the user forgotten how to read? Do the names of the files hl2_sound_misc, hl2_misc and hl2_pak.vpk.sound mean nothing?

I can’t advise anything on the topic (because I myself, I’m not very good at archiving this type), except to turn on the brain and load Google with a couple of requests.
PS Wouldn't it be easier to search for ALREADY unpacked sound from the game, again, on the Internet?

There are programs Game Extractor http://www.playground.ru/files/game_extractor-92504/
(only in some archives this program does not see the names of the files, but copes with unpacking with a bang)
and GCF Scape - designed just the same for unpacking archives games on the Source engine, however, in some archives it has the same problem as the previous one. There is also Quick BMS, http://www.playground.ru/files/quickbms_bolee_1000_skriptov-92639/
it has a lot of scripts for unpacking game resources, but it's not very easy to use.

Nothing comes out, writes after installing and running Game Extractor - Run-time error '13'

Launched the utility, tried to extract the archives, as stated on STEAM, but it says "Unhandled exception in the application" :( Some kind of vicious circle ..

For this program to work, you need to install Java, without it it will not start

It started up, but everything is in English :( and it constantly asks for some kind of plugin from Java. I have already updated Java, but it still swears.

remove the game extractor and install the orthodox gcfscape specifically for source games http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/files/files/gcfscape185.zip
then as you were told above http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=261114067 , you need to open the _dir archive, the rest without a file system
