ScummVM settings dont affect game

[Vlahka]

i mean the "scummvm.ini" file, it should be exactly named like that on windows.

Sorry, was expecting the file to be in the folder itself not on my C drive. Heres the file.

Well, since i don't have fluidsynth on my plarform i can't test that, but you can try and switch to another audio output.
Switch to something else than windows_Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth and see if the birds chirping is still wrong.

Thats the problem. I've tried all the settings. I either get that strange noise or no noise. At this point I'm thinking I'll just play the amiga version.

[Raziel]

Can't help you, sorry.

I tried to set all the possible options you hvae and see if it made a difference, but it didn't.
The only other possibility wopuld be that you have a somewhat broken MIDI file in your installation, but you already recopied, so...

If someone know which file holds the birds chirping we could do a mdsum comparision.

Thanks again for the help. If I ever get around to figuring it out I'll post it here.

Could this be causing issues with sound? sdl2.dll isn't a sound font, is it?
soundfont=G:\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM\SDL2.dll

[Raziel]

@ezekiel000

It's probably not even picked up.
Also, the problem is persistent in only one game (KQV).

I'd assume the sound would go nuts for every game (if it'd even played at all, let alone ScummVM throwing an error).
I rather think there is something wrong with one (or more) of the datafiles (I don't have the GOG version, so can't test if the package is borked).

@Vlahka
It would be nice to know if the Amiga version you mentioned works...because then there is a pretty good chance the datafiles are affected.

Also, the problem is persistent in only one game (KQV).

The wrong sound font setting that ezekiel000 noticed is in the kq5 section of the ini file. So it would only affect that game. But indeed I would expect an error if/when it tries to use it.

[Vlahka]

If you think its worth a try I could upload my dll file and someone could test it. Or someone upload theirs and I'll give it a go.

[criezy]

The issue that was pointed to here is that SDL2.dll is not a soundfont. You need something like what is described in this thread.

[Vlahka]

A shame KQ5 isnt in that list. I downloaded the fatboy file just for fun and set it up in the emulator to load it. Sadly no difference. I might re-download everything again after wiping away all previous versions everywhere just for fun. I'll wait till my new modem comes on monday since this one I think is playing up. Probably no link to my problem but may as well go for it.
