SCUMM: MI2: iMUSE bug on Booty Island

[Lebostein]

ScummVM no longer plays the booty theme correctly in the Booty Store (that small shop on the left). Almost all tracks are missing, I hear only an organ playing chords and a Hi-Hat or somehing like that... as soon as you enter the Booty Store, almost all tracks (trumpets, trombones or the rock theme in some cases) are no longer audible.

ScummVM 2.9.0
Win 10 / Mac OS 14.7 (same problem!)
german non-talkie version
all audio settings default

I added a save game. Load it and enter the booty store.

I don't have the German version, but I'm going to assume that it's the same as what I could hear in the English version when using boot param 890. I tried bisecting the problem, and it landed on this commit: ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/28d8e43675e7f22cf5646c4aadecb5509095c394

There was a subsequent commit to address some unspecified regression: ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/a8cca5031dbecc6852e76747586c39b95e8c0f0f

If I remove Monkey Island 2 from the special case in the latter commit, the problem goes away. But that's probably not the correct fix.

Just for reference, the way I reproduced it while testing:

• Start the game with boot param 890. This puts you on Booty Island, but no music is playing yet.
• Enter the costume store. (Still no music playing.)
• Leave the costume store. Now the music starts playing, which is probably correct.
• Enter the antiques store.

When it works, there's a piano playing the melody. When it doesn't, there isn't.

@Lebostein: Thank you for reporting this issue. athrxx added a fix in the development version (commit 40beeba18f60280e5bd5c665424db4789afa8d73).

Could you test with a daily build at <​https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds> (first "Branch master" column), and report back whether this correctly fixes the issue for you? (You may need to wait 24 hours before the new daily builds embed the fix.)

Thanks!

It's been five weeks. Should we perhaps just close this?

Replying to eriktorbjorn:

I agree. @Lebostein can reopen this ticket if something's still wrong with the previous fix. It's going to be part of the 2.9.1 release.
