Hi there,

I am just about setting up Windows XP-SP3 on my 3200+ system (#3 of sig, approx. 2002) but the gameport isn't recognised properly.
The soundcard itself works fine with the genuine XP drivers but the gamport is crossed out in the hardware controll panel 🙁

I've already searched the internet, but the drivers that I've found don't even recognice the cards (can't find any supported product).
Can anyone help and provide a working diver or give me a hint how to solve the problem?

TNX & regards

Do you have onboard sound ?
then try to disable the Port inside the BIOS.

Yes, onboard sound was disabled from the start.
So that shouldn't be the source of the trouble.

The config worked previously fine with Win98SE, but updating the system to XP prooved to be a bit bumpy.
I will now try to disable all other (unnecessary) onboard devices in case they claim some IRQ or EA-Range that the soundcard requires.

... will report the further progress 😉

**Edit**
For the old Soundblaster cards the driver support always was a pain in the a** 😵
but I got now a SB0220 (with the drivers from vogonsdrivers.com) and that fixed the problem 😀
