I was trying to play monkey island with vdm sound, and the sound came out of my computer? is there a way to switch it to your speakers? If i try playing the game with scummvm it doesnt show the backgrounds.

The sound from SoMI comes straight from the CD, so that generally has to be in the CD-drive when you play the game.

Also, no backgrounds with ScummVM? Have you tried grabbing the latest build (http://www.scummvm.org)?) Which version of the game are you running, exactly?

I'm sure Dr. Benny will be along later with a better diagnosis, but until then, try the above. VDMSound sucks.

Yea it works now, thank you.

Hang on, how do you play without the CD? Or at least with internal speakers? Only the love scene on the peer is a hell of a lot better with internal speakers I always thought (that's when I had the game on floppy).

I burned it onto a cd and it worked

The truly masochistic can start the game from the DOS prompt with the 'i' argument, eg.

> monkey i

...for internal speaker sound. Use 'h' as an argument for a list of the other options you can set.
