Comment (by lenny892):

 I have noticed that in both the Irish Pub and the "Poste de police" scenes
 in "Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars," certain sound effects are
 overly dominant and intrusive. For example, in the Irish Pub, the sound of
 the dishwasher behind the bar is much more prominent than the music played
 by the violinist. Similarly, in the "Poste de police," the noise of the
 fan in the inspector's back office is very loud and distracting. These
 issues were not present in the Windows version of the game or in ScummVM
 versions prior to 2.8.0. Despite adjusting the audio settings in ScummVM
 to make the music louder than the sound effects, the problem persists.

 As we have established, the current behavior in ScummVM is accurate to the
 DOS version, which is likely why these sound effects are more prominent.
 The dominance of certain sound effects, such as the dishwasher in the Pub
 and the fan in the police station, negatively impacts the game's
 atmosphere and immersion. These problems suggest that the balance between
 music and sound effects is not functioning correctly in the current
 version of ScummVM when compared to the Windows version.

 Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope this information helps
 in addressing the audio balance issues and brings the ScummVM experience
 closer to that of the original Windows version.
