Does anyone here have experience with Game Extractor?

No, I did exactly what the readme said to do, both with and without -s, twice each, both with the .000 file and the entire game folder, and nothing showed up except one lone midi file that's not even anywhere in the game.

Yeah, you're definitely doing it wrong, because GR does not "invent" lone MIDI files. Also that BMP you've created a hexdump of, must be shown up on "Sprites" tab at least.

But okay, no pressure, let's just use the files you've extracted with Game Extractor.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure that the program didn't detect anything because even though the image files had the signature, they weren't given the .BMP extension

Like I said, GR doesn't give a shit about extensions, it scans all files for known magic bytes and that's it. See the source yourself.

Most of the game audio was sound effects and voice lines. They aren't horrifically compressed, but they could be better. I might try loading the files into Audacity to see if that makes a difference. There's not a lot of music tracks, the game was released in 1996 so they aren't even MIDI files anyway, and the game's OST is already on youtube so I'm not focused on that. But if you can point me to a way I can extract the sound effects and voice lines at a higher quality, I'd appreciate it.

Hmmm, not sure. If the game was released in 1996 then there's a chance that it was using 8-bit PCM samples, and that's the reason for the low quality. Although it is possible that you have some conversion issues, because Sound Blaster 16 (the first sound card that could handle 16-bit PCM under DOS) was already released by that time if my memory serves, so there's a chance of 16-bit PCM samples as well (with 44100 sampling rate that would be CD quality).

You should detect the correct sample size in those audio files first. Could you attach an example audio file? Maybe I'll be able to tell more if I can analyze it.
