Hello there!
I wanted to rip\dump the audio from some GameCube games (CoDFH\CoD2 BRO and MoH Games).
Is there a way to dump the audio just like we dump the textures?

Short answer: No
Long answer: No, there is no standard audiocodec for games on GC/Wii and most sounds have been compressed and saved in a proprietary format, the game uses the in-game codec to decode the sounds and the in game mixer to mix the sounds together so there are no "separate" wave files coming out of Dolphin, just an audiomix. There are some people around in the GC/Wii modding scene that have decoded some of the proprietary formats for some games, which then you are able to rip. So you might be able to find someone that has done that for these games, if it was done at all...
You can use GCRebuilder or even Dolphin itself to get the files by themselves, and vgmstream is made for video game formats. If yours isn't supported you can head over to their Discord and ask them.
