There are a few reasons why this can occur. It could be variant datafiles, or an incorrect setting in the Audio/MIDI/MT32 screens, or due to the SCUMM engine music driver autodetection getting the wrong music driver, but replicating this is tricky as it depends on the MIDI / music drivers provided to ScummVM from the OS, so we need a bit more information to track this down.

What about the MIDI tab for Options and Edit-Game (Override?)?
I would suggest that you run scummvm from a command window with the line "scummvm -d 5" and see if any messages relating to MIDI or sound output are produced.

What exactly is making you conclude that "ScummVM considers they are MT32"?

Updated patch(Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon Demo uses Putt-Putt Joins the Parade music)
comment:11 by , 10 years ago
Thank you for the patches. They will be reviewed by the SCUMM engine developers when they have time and then merged.

Why exactly do you think the music was designed for General MIDI?
Unfortunately the setupcd program included with the original DOS version doesn't offer any choice for General MIDI or Roland MT32, so I can't compare under DOSBox

@kirben: I don't have this game, so can't give direct evidence, but based on http://www.mobygames.com/game/win3x/putt-putt-goes-to-the-moon/reviews/reviewerId,246035/, the Windows version at least was intended for use with Roland GS.
The relevant section is:

All the Windows ports uses digital music, although that confirms the digital music was recorded from a Roland GS for this game.

That PUTTMOON.DRV file, doesn't seem to work with the full DOS version of the game. Which MidiSoundDriver is expected by your changes?

I created new modification of PUTTMOON.DRV set MidiSoundDriver=genmidi.adv
comment:19 by , 10 years ago
Unfortunately both versions of your PUTTMOON.DRV file, cause the game to lock up (not startup), when I tried with to use with suggested sound settings use under the DOXBox emulator.

I've extracted XMI files, then converted it to MID, and played back through Roland SC-55mkII in GM mode. Results almost exacts to Windows version. See: youtube.

nukeykt: Thank you for your bug report. However, you have omitted several details which will be required in order to investigate this bug. 1. Which operating system are you using? 2. Which version of ScummVM are you using? (This is shown on the launcher screen below the logo) 3. Please attach a file listing of your Putt-Putt goes to the Moon datafiles to this bug as a text file attachment, preferably with file md5sums? The output of a tool such as http://md5summer.org/ is optimal. 4. Please attach screenshots of your Options->Audio, Options->MIDI and Options->MT32 setting screens to this bug as JPEG or PNG. (Attachments are limited to below 256K per item, so the bitmap output from Alt-S (screenshot) will need to be converted with a tool such as GIMP or imagemagick to reduce size).
Please can you ensure that you provide the information in points 1 to 3 initially on any future bug reports you file. Thanks.
