#7075 SCI: Music does not play correctly.

[cyriller]

The musics in SCI games don't play correctly. Some intruments stop too soon.
It happens in every sci games (SQ5 - SQ6 - Gabriel knight etc...)

[M. Kiewitz]

Can you please tell us which output device you used? AdLib emulator? MT-32 emulation? MIDI? Real MT-32?

Which ScummVM version?
Which platform you are on?

btw. Space Quest 6 + Gabriel Knight are not supported at the moment.

[cyriller]

Use adlib emulator and Midi.

I use Scummvm 1.9.0git1091 -gea81d21 (14 march)
I am on windows 7 64 bits

I know SQ6 and GK are not supported but it seems this problem affects every SCi games for me. I played with SQ4 and I think I have the same problem. I tested the MT-32 emulator and the sound is better but some games are not decigned for it.

[M. Kiewitz]

Can you please try the official ScummVM 1.8 as well?
Also which instruments are not working properly? I just listened a bit to the SQ4 intro and didn't hear any issues.

I try the official ScummVM 1.8 and i have the same issue.
It's difficult to find the instruments but the " tings" in sierra's logo stop too early (when the logo shines) and the music in aptitude test in SQ5 is really bad with midi devices.
it works great with dosbox.

[M. Kiewitz]

Can you switch to DOSBox AdLib emulation?
Options -> Audio -> AdLib emulator

I'm not sure, if we currently use MAME as default or DOSBox. Try both.

[cyriller]

nothing change...

I juste heard the introduction of SQ5 and the music with midi or OPL adlib dosbox and mame is not correct.
