Hi,
I'm running ScummVM from the official raspbian repo.
Same results on both Raspberry Pi 3 and 4.
Sound works fine till I install PulseAudio (which I needed for a different app).
Then Any sound for any game sound very hoarse.
Is this a known issue?
I've found the following related thread:
https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=10930
Is there a way to make ScummVM to ignore PulseAudio ?
does the following warning give any hint?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ scummvm -v

If you are able to build ScummVM yourself for the RPi (cross compilation or locally on the Pi*), then you could try with running the configure command with the --disable-alsa option, ie.:
...based on the instructions from: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM/RPI
I haven't tried this myself, but it seems like a possible solution
*. Compiling locally on the RPi may produce a linker error. A possible remedy is mentioned in the above ScummVM wiki page: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM/RPI
