 (I also experienced this bug using ScummVM 2.1.2)

 This bug seems to happen when using Scummvm's MT32 emulator for audio in
 this game.  When the game starts, audio plays normally, with the
 appropriate amount of reverb.  When you enter one of the city street maze
 screens, the ambient sounds are blanketed in heavy reverb, which is also
 correct (I believe.)  The bug begins when you exit any of these city
 street maze screens into any other area with sounds (like the fountain
 plaza, for example.)  The heavy reverb from the ambient city street noises
 continues to impact all other sounds in the game from that point on.

 To reproduce this, start a new game and exit the inn.  Note the sound of
 the snake charmer's tune. Now walk north from the the plaza into the first
 city street maze screen, then turn around and walk back to the gate plaza.
 It will be immediately clear that the snake charmer's music sounds like
 it's playing from the far end of a tunnel.  This happens any time you exit
 any of the street screens, as far as I can tell.

 Game version & Language: 1.102 DOS/English (GoG release)
 OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
