@painelf I think this noise is that of the needle, not from Largo. I can hear this in the original EXE too, and it is also played with Adlib, therefor definately not part of the sample.

I'll need to pick the brains of the ScummVM developers before I can submit a proper patch for this, but here's something you could try in the meantime:
(I've only tried this under Linux, but I assume it's the same on other systems, at least as long as you start ScummVM from a command-line.)
Before going into Largo's room, start the debugger by pressing Ctrl-D. You should see something like this on the console:
Debugging mode entered!, please switch to this console for input. Enter h to list all the debug commands debug>
At the debug prompt, type "v 48 5" (without the quotation marks) and press Enter. It should respond with
Var[48] = 5
Resume the game by typing "c" at the debug prompt. Largo's screams should now be sounds instead of text captions. Do they sound correct to you?
To elaborate a bit, variable 48 apparently tells the game what type of soundcard you have, and you need a type 5 soundcard for the game to play these sounds. ScummVM always sets it to 3.
I have no idea what types 3 or 5 really mean, and where else it might make a difference.

With "v 48 5" the screems sound right. Indeed this affects other things as I found one thing: in the bar when the barkeeper spits into the glass the sound is not playing then any more, but it plays when I set "v 48 3" again. Although I think this is a bug in the original scripts as this spit noise also aren't playing with my original EXE and Soundblaster. I just checked this. However, Largo's spit is playing there. So "v 48 5" seems to behave exactly like with Soundblaster output.

Thanks for testing the other sound effects. The morning was too far gone (and I was too lazy :-) for me to do it myself.
It would be a shame to lose any of the other digitized sound effects, even in cases where they weren't played by the original interpreter. I think I know how to hack in an ugly solution, but I'd like to find out a bit more about how and where MI2 (and other games) test the soundcard variable first...

Actually, when Guybrush stabs the doll, I get a bit of noise. I think a sound is played, but possibly from a wrong offset?
