Re: MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 1 and Windows XP

I have a PCI sound card with gameport in my computer and disabled the
obboard sound so I can use the gameport in the PCI card.

Will I still be able to play with the Feedback feture of the stick?
Also.. is there a way to enable the onboard sound and use it for speakers
and microphone and using the PCI sound card just for the gameport? will this
make any IRQ or resource conflicts?

because the sound onboard is way better than the PCI card.

Thanks
Joe..

Hi Alonso Cortez,

Although you can most likely get that game adapter to work with a
Gameport <> USB adapter, the force feedback won't work at all.

Purchasing a Gameport <> USB adapter is just throwing good
money away on a technology which although once great is now
outdated.. hense why computer manufacturers don't include game
ports anymore.
