I'm thinking of replaying the King's Quest series again quite soon (my second time) and I was hoping that before starting, someone here might be able to help with a rather annoying problem...
The last time that I played through the series (via ScummVM - using the files from my official King's Quest Collection CD-ROM); when it came to completing King's Quest VI, the end credits were silent. It seemed a bit odd but then I later found out that a much loved song, titled 'Girl in the Tower' was supposed to play over the credits!
I can recall previously looking up some information on this and if my memory serves me correctly; the issue lay with the specific collection that I own. Does anybody here have any knowledge of a work around?
Also, if somebody here could send me a ScummVM save file from just before the end of the game, so that I can test any potential solutions (to check if the song plays or not - my previous playthrough was on my old computer, along with my previously saved states), then that would be very helpful indeed.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

EDIT: In case it helps, here's the exact cover art for the collection that I own (UK release)...
...An interesting bit of triva; the various collections released for Sierra's classic adventure games during this period were somewhat notorious for being incredibly sloppy and half-arsed. I believe my Police Quest Collection didn't contain some of the relevant copy protection material (I had to resort to downloading it from the Internet).
EDIT 2: I found some interesting information regarding the issue on the forum over at GOG...
https://www.gog.com/forum/kings_quest_s ... tower_song
Have a read through that page and it's claimed that the issue lies with ScummVM itself. There's also a post with a link to a solution over at the Sierra Help Pages. When I attempted to open said page, I was informed that I needed to be a registered user to access the information, so I did just that and registered (which required me to have to wait for a moderator to validate my registration). Once I was finally registered, I once again attempted to access the relevant page, only to be told that I'm "not authorised to read this forum". For Jiminy Cricket's sake!
Please can somebody help me out here. I really want to replay the King's Quest series but I refuse to play a compromised version of King's Quest VI. I didn't even get the musical reference to the Girl in the Tower track in the third episode of the recent reboot until someone else pointed it out to me! I feel as though I'm being deprived of one of the highlights of the entire series here!
EDIT 3: The issue has now been resolved (see below).
