 ScummVM 2.9.0 (Dec  8 2024 19:29:30)
 Using SDL backend with SDL 2.0.14
 Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth Theora VPX
 AAC A/52 FreeType2 FriBiDi JPEG PNG GIF taskbar TTS cloud (servers, local)
 ENet SDL2 TinyGL OpenGL (with shaders)
 and with 2.10git from today

 The intro doesn't play (after the golden boy "screensaver" the intro with
 the mad scientist should come up), background (midi) music is playing
 fine, but the screen stays black and i can hear, low volumed, extremely
 garbled speech.

 Pressing ESC two times gets me to the "road" credits, which do play,
 another ESC and Sam & Max arrive in their office.

 The speech from both of them are also garbled and heavily slowed downed
 (the whole scene and the rest of the game, take ages to continue).

 This is a regression, but i have no idea when it last worked.
 Using the original MONSTER.SOU, no crunching involved.

 as far as i can see, only this game is affected

 Problem is using real MIDI hardware...this game seems to not like it (see
 below for more info)

 Sam & Max Hit the Road (CD/English)
 Windows 10 - 64/32 bit
