Comment (by fusefib):

 I advised in a forum thread to
 - remove the global variable from System Properties and;
 - just duplicate your ScummVM shortcut and, clicking Properties, change
 the Target to something like this, which should limit the scope of the set
 environmental variable to one session:

 {{{
 C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET SDL_AUDIODRIVER=directsound&& START /D
 ^"C:\Program Files\ScummVM\^" scummvm.exe --no-console"
 }}}

 Use the new shortcut as a workaround. Even if this works, consider
 checking a few things to identify the potential interference. Describe the
 in-use sound device and set-up better. Also, try running ScummVM normally
 with minimal background processes and see if that changes anything.
