Ubuntu: No music, but sound effects work

[tecate]

I'm using ScummVM 2.8.0 on Ubuntu. I tried two games only: Leisure Suit Larry (256VGA) and Day of The Tentacle. LSL1 works great, but I have no music on DOTT. I have sound effects and voices, but no music. Music device and AdLib emulator are set to default. That's how I have it set up in my older machines running older versions of ScummWM. Any idea of what's wrong? Thanks!

Hello! A few questions:

• Do you have the same issue with ScummVM 2.8.1?
• Have you tested with a recent daily development build (2.9.0git) (this is from the column "ScummVM latest
  Branch master" in the daily builds page)?
• Is this an original DOTT version (please specify any details on it) or was it extracted from the remastered DOTT?
• Did you try overriding the sound settings for DOTT and manually setting the Sound device (from Game Options -> Audio for the DOTT entry in ScummVM)?
• Could you check about the setting under Global Options -> MIDI for GM Device?

I do recall that there were some changes in the detection of available MIDI device in recent ScummVM versions, so that might be that this is causing the issue on your platform with 2.8.0 but not on previous versions. I also think some fixes were made for this in 2.8.1 (maybe in the dev 2.9.0git too)

I didn't have any issues with my previous version of ScummVM, which was 1.7.0. Yeah, it's old, but it took me a few years to change my computer, and I didn't want to update any packages that were working.

Anyway, I was able to get music by changing to MT-32 emulator. Unfortunately, it's not the same music I was used to when I was little, with my Sound Blaster 16. The music sounds superior, but I was hoping to have the same experience I had as a kid.

This is a copy of my original DOTT CD. I also have an original version of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on CD that I can try, but at the moment I don't have anything that reads CDs. I'll borrow a USB CD drive, and try IJ5 on this version of ScummVM.
