Problems With Joystick
The joystick port is not working.
The audio card’s joystick port conflicts with the system’s joystick port.
To solve this problem:
Disable the audio card’s joystick port and use the system port instead. For details, see
"Enabling/Disabling Gameport Joystick Interface" in the section "Changing Audio Card
Settings".

NOTE: Do not attempt to make changes to the BIOS unless you have experience with
system software.
The joystick is not working properly in some programs.
The program may use the system processor timing to calculate the joystick position. When the
processor is fast, the program may determine the position of the joystick incorrectly, assuming
that the position is out of range.
To solve this problem:
Increase your system's 8 bit I/O recovery time of the BIOS setting, usually under the
Chipset Feature Settings section. Or, if available, you may adjust the AT Bus speed to a
slower clock. If the problem persists, try a different joystick.

Resolving I/O Conflicts
Conflicts between your audio card and another peripheral device may occur if your card and
the other device are set to use the same I/O address.
To resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource settings of your audio card or the conflicting
peripheral device in your system using Device Manager in Windows.
If you still do not know which card is causing the conflict, remove all cards except the audio
card and other essential cards (for example, disk controller and graphics cards). Add each card
back until Device Manager indicates that a conflict has occurred.
To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows:
Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 1.
In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon. 2.
In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab. 3.
Under the Sound, Video And Game Controllers entry, select the conflicting audio card
driver—indicated by an exclamation mark (!)—and click the Properties button. 4.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Resources tab. 5.
