Hi! Thanks for the report; can you provide some info about your version? It would be useful to see the complete list of files for your game. Also, please try running ScummVM with debug flags

scummvm.exe -d5

and let me know if, when playing the game, there are any debug warnings concerning the audio engine.

Everything looks normal there... Is this copy from GOG? Steam? CDs?

Attached a part of the output with the -d5.

Replying to AndywinXp:

The copy is from CDs. Just tested with the steam dlc (original version) and results are the same.

[Yalefeuv]

Tested whith the steam fr & uk versions. Same results

Thanks for verifying. I also tried several Steam localizations and I can't reproduce it unfortunately, but we can try something else:
1) Upload here your scummvm.ini (I believe you can write %appdata% on a Windows Explorer address bar and then find it from there), so I can take a look at it to see if there is something wrong with it
2) Try placing an empty scummvm.ini file near your ScummVM executable, re-add the game, launch it, and tell me how it goes

old ini

Resetting the ini file worked

[Yalefeuv]

new ini (work)

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your patience, I'm glad we could sort this out!

Apparently, the issue was that your old ini file had this line near the beginning:

speech_volume=256

This was interpreted by the game as an out of bound value (it had to be in the range 0-255). Bringing that down to, say, 192 should work fine.

If you don't want to touch that general setting, you can go in the in-game settings and bring the speech level to a correct value.

[Yalefeuv]

In game setting speech volume is buggy. The max volume is an out of bound value.
