No Default Music in Beneath a Steel Sky
I can't seem to get the music to work right on Beneath a Steel Sky, i also have the Amiga cd32 version and the music begins from the start, but the PC version doesn't have music as a default and when i fiddled about with Adlib and MT-32 the sound was rubbish, is this normal?

I should have added, that their is also no default music with Flight of the Amazon Queen, It happens with both the proper ScummVm and the daily Snapshot, am i doing something wrong?

For me, in the CD version of Beneath a Steel Sky the music doesn't begin until after the helicopter crash. With the floppy version, or using the --alt-intro command-line parameter in the CD version, music begins almost immediately. With Flight of the Amazon Queen, the music begins around the time the alarm clock is shown.
I'm not sure what you mean by "default music". If you mean you don't get any music with the native MIDI music driver (which may be called "Windows MIDI", "CoreAudio", "ALSA", or something else, depending on your operating system)... well, there are several things that could cause that.
Maybe your system doesn't support MIDI, though on Windows or Mac that's probably quite unlikely. I run Linux myself, and for quite some time the drivers for my sound card did not support MIDI, even though the card was perfectly capable of handling it.
On my system, I need to load a SoundFont to get any MIDI sound, but that's probably still an exception rather than a rule. Probably more likely, have you checked the mixer settings of your operating system (i.e. not ScummVM's options dialog)? Maybe the MIDI music has been muted?
