One of the few bothersome elements of the original Broken Sword is the low sound quality, which also makes it an unpleasant headphone experience.
That's how I got the idea of replacing the sound files from the original game with their Director's Cut counterparts - the sound quality was the
most major improvement in the DC version; Barrington Pheloung's score was re-recorded with respect to the original version. Not all of the original
music files have an approriate DC version, therefore not all of them were replaced, or rather, some needed "operating". Nevertheless, the majority,
approximately three quarters, of the music has been replaced and a "test" playthrough with the "patch" revealed no noticable issues and a
pleasently enhanced experience.
WHAT TO DO?
Simply replace the music folder in the instalation directory - for the GOG version, that is C:\GOG Games\Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars -
and voilà: the "remastered" soundtrack is in place!
Hope you enjoy it!
