Recent large audio language models (LALMs) have achieved impressive progress in audio understanding. However, existing evaluations remain largely constrained to English and narrow audio domains. Prior benchmarks typically focus on a single audio modality, i.e., speech, sound, or music, limiting the systematic investigation into how these models generalize across diverse visual scenarios. In this paper, we introduce EXAM$^2$, a benchmark for multilingual and multimodal audio understanding spanning six languages and multiple modalities, including speech, sound, music, mixed-audio settings, and v
