 Hi.
 Tried playing Gabriel Knight (CD/Dos and Windows/English) with General
 Midi (tried FluidSynth [with FatBoy 0.786, and some other SF - 'Roland
 SC-55 v3.7.sf2'] and with MS Windows MIDI) - the music is great, but there
 are no sound effects when I get points.
 Tried changing to MT-32 emulator - the music is good, but less than GM -
 however, now I get these sound effects.

 The "Mixed Adlib/MIDI mode" is clicked in ScummVM general options menu.
 (It doesn't show in the game's specific options menu - is that the source
 of my problems?)

 Tried with DosBOX, and in Sierra's original install utility there are
 separate settings for "Music" (I chose General MIDI) and "Sound" (chose
 Sound Blaster) - and it seems to work fine (there are some other issues
 with DosBOX - I really prefer using ScummVM - but the music/sound issue is
 better with DosBOX).

 Bottom line:
 It seems that there is a problem with '--multi-midi' option here.

 Versions:

 Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.914]

 ScummVM 2.1.0 (Oct  5 2019 01:07:22)
 Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth Theora AAC
 A/52 FreeType2 JPEG PNG cloud (servers, local)

 Gabriel Knight - GOG release - bought yesterday.


 probably need to separate "Music" and "Sound"
