    1 Sorry, what I'm trying to achieve is getting Amiga environment sounds in the dos version of King's Quest 4. I thought I made had been thorough when submitting the ticket.

    3 The patch adds environmental sounds from the Amiga version because the dos version of the game didn't have any. The dos version has superior music when using MUNT so this patch combined the two. The patch also restores individual day/night palettes that are not present in later games because Sierra removed them to get the game to fit on a single floppy disk. The earlier versions that of the game that have the original palettes play just fine in ScummVM as well.

    55In this patch, when starting a new game and Rosella is standing at the beach you can hear seagulls and the roar of the ocean when using dosbox. This can also be heard in the Amiga version of the game when playing it in ScummVM. It works just fine in the version of dosbox provided, which is just dosbox with MUNT support, and that's why I had mentioned it. The game looks like it's using a custom sound driver with GUS and MT-32 combined when I looked at the diagnostic log from dosbox but I'm obviously not an expert on these things and not sure how newrisingsun created this patch. I had assumed that the sound support for this would be something that ScummVM could improve upon since I can hear the music just fine when using MT-32 emulation and can kind of hear the environmental sound when switching to Amiga sound emulation even though it's garbled. I can't get both environmental sound and music to play at the same time.
