 ScummVM 2.9.0pre11296-g583660fb4cb (Apr 21 2025 14:44:13)
 Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 26100.3775
 Game: Slater & Charlie Go Camping (DOS/English) (slater)

 This game is an interactive storybook for young children. The story is
 accessed from the main menu by pressing either "READ TO ME" (autoplay
 mode) or "LET ME PLAY" (lets user switch pages themselves and interact
 with hotspots). During story, player can return to main menu by pressing a
 small red octagon with page number below the story picture.

 Going between main menu and story pages has a chance of producing hanging
 music notes which don't get cleared properly. Going back and forth between
 screens can intensify these notes, producing unpleasant noise. It appears
 that the game uses only MIDI instruments 7-10 after the Sierra logo
 fanfare and instruments 7 and 8 can get stuck.

 I've managed to reproduce this issue with audio device setting set to
 Windows MIDI ports and AdLib emulator. I couldn't reproduce it with MT-32
 emulator, so maybe the MT32 driver used in this game does not suffer from
 the same issue.
