Hello,
I wanted to give a new try to the King's Quest serie, starting with episode 1.
The game seems to work fine but there is only sound effects, no music. :-(

I did found articles where it says to configure DosBox or ScummVM but they are pretty old,
don't know if it still applies to the latest version I installed from GOG.

My version uses ScummVM, I didn't find any DosBox configuration file, I know a little about DosBox but ScummVM is new for me.
I launched ScummVM from my GOG Galaxy\Games\Kings Quest folder and setup audio configuration.

It proposed to install latest version of ScummVM in my Program Files but then,
how should I set the game to use the latest one instead of "GOG Galaxy\Games\Kings Quest\scummvm" older version ?

After all this, I restarted the game, there is music on the first screen but then, no music in game.

Could you please guide me on setting up ScummVM as I intend to run all episodes of KQ and how to get the sound back ?

Unless it is known to be impossible to get the music using ScummVM and I should revert to DosBox but I read this is complex too.

Also, there is an option to use joysticks, would you know if there is a way to use my Logitech F710 gamepad ? :-)

Thanks,
Claude

The original KQ1 from 1984 has no music, just sound effects. If you are talking about SCI KQ1 remake of 1991 then game has some music but not much.
