SB 16 Game Port Resource Confl

Hello,
I know this card is kind of an antique, and I am planning on getting something new (like an Audigy), but this problem has been bugging me and I am looking for an answer.
I have an old Sound Blaster 6 PCI card. I am trying to set it up with my MIDI keyboard and Cakewalk sequencing software, but no matter what I've tried, I still have an annoying resrouce conflict in Control Panel.
I suspect that there is a problem with the I/O assignements (since this is what is seems to be the problem in Device Manager), but the card is unable to find any good ones, despite the fact that I've tried to assign some different ones under "Properties" in Device Manager.
I am running Windows XP (Service Pack 2). My motherboard is an Abit NF-7. It does have onboard sound, but I've disabled it in the BIOS. I've downloaded new drivers for the SB card, uninstalled and reinstalled the card several times, and updated BIOS files. I have even moved the card to different PCI slots, as was suggested in one of the other messages I read.
I have looked under "Resources by Type" in Device Manager, and have not found my Creative Game Port listed at all. It is listed under Device Manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, I recognize that it's time for me to upgrade this card anyway, but I'm hesitant to do that for fear of having the same sort of problem with the new card.
Thanks!

Well, I got the Auidgy 2 ZS today and the resource conflict is gone.

Did you disable the k8n's onboard sound in the bios?
Maybe scan this thread for clue's,

MIDI / Game Port w

I bought an Audigy Z2S Platinum card around Christmas time, and I'm just now trying to use the MIDI interface with my Roland EP-90. I'm unable to get any MIDI input or output at all.
I found the "MIDI - General Information and Essential Troubleshooting" guide in the KnowledgeBase, and I'm not able to get the SoundFont Bank Manager to play along with a MIDI file playing from the Creative Media Source. If I'm reading correctly, my MIDI source should be Sound Blaster Audigy MIDI Port [XXXX] (as opposed to MIDI Port 2) since I'm using the game port. (Though I did try both). The KnowledgeBase article references a configuration item I can't seem to locate on my PC:
Control Panel -> AudioHQ -> Keyboard -- I only have 'Device Controls' and 'EAX Configuration' -- though I'm not sure if this Keyboard option should be the same as the SoundFont Bank Manager.
Every other function of the sound card I've tested is fully functional, I've triple-checked that all my inputs are on and not muted, and that the MIDI Port was consistent between Windows and the applications, etc. Anyone ideas what else I might try? Thanks in advance.

Since the MIDI data is a sort of control data only, it's all the same which MIDI port are you using for to connect the keyboard controller into your PC. If your motheboard do have a MIDI port then just use it. Otherwise, you need to buy a USB MIDI Interface to get the keyboard hooked.
USB MIDI Interfaces are not very expensi've - street prices starts from around $40US.

Also, it's possible that you keep the Audigy plugged and use it's MIDI controller only (disable the card itself (and it's IEEE394 controller if there is one) through Device Manager and left the Game/MIDI Controller into use.

Game Port Error: This device cannot start. (Code

I recently did a PC rebuild and have a fresh install of XP SP2. When trying to play with a gamepad that worked just fine before the reinstall of XP, it shows the game port as not working.
Sure enough, Device Manager shows a problem with the game port.
I uninstalled the game port and reinstalled it to no avail.
This is the error the properties of the game port has listed:
This device cannot start. (Code 0)
Anyone have any idea how to fix this - I saw several posts in this forum from some time ago with no answers.
Thanks in advance!

What kind of reinmstall did you perform? If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed. Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

No Midi-Game port on the X-FI sound ca

Before buying any of the "X-FI Sound Cards" I've noticed that the X-FI sound cards do not have a Midi-Game Port on the card itself. My current sound card "Audigy 2" does has one.
How is one to use these sound cards with a midi keyboard without buying extra devices, such as the X-Fi I/O Dri've?Is there a way to use the mainboard game port via X-FI sound card? Has this ever been tried?
Thanks!

Vista wont recognize Creative Game Port in Device Mana

Brand new Vista Ultimate system. No sound card previusly installed. Installed the Audigy 2 ZS and device manager keeps telling me the Creative Game Port did not install properly. I used the most current Vista drivers/app off the creative site as indicated by the driver find wizard for my product:?SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_2_0002

Hey D.K, [lol]
just wondering. Let's say i have? a sound card with gameport feature on it.
Now i install the soundcard to my computer [Vista OS] and I do your gameport support pack.
Everythings done. I have no issues... except for I have no sound?
so how do i overcome this issue?
the game port works everythings fine except that now i dont have a "soundcard" so i dont have sound coming from non USB speakers/headphones.
what do i do?

Adding game port to k7n2g-l

hi
i want to know if i can install this soundcard and ONLY use the game port?
Sound Blaster 4.1 Digital OEM
im satisfied with the sound the realtec chip can put out but i want a game port mostly when im playing old nintendo games.
can someone with this soundcard make a post of how good it sounds.
bye

Hi all
raven i asked a question like this a while back and came to the conclusion that usb game devices would be my best bet.
i also have a sblive!! 1024 or something and thought about using it for the game port because im also happy with the onboard sound and dont want to use the sb for sound but as yet i haven't tried it mainly because i dont wanna confuse the system but im sure it can be done without annoying anything just haven't got round to it.
if it works ok let me know as i dont realy need to fork out for a new racing wheel and flight stick usb style ;(
good luck :D

MSI 420 PRO game port

Anybody able to get onboard game port to support joysticks. Using Nvidia Unified driver pack for XP. Running XP Prof. with 512 mem. Device manager reports joystick port as standard game port with Microsoft driver 5.0.0.0 This board is suppose to be a gamming platform. Is there Nvidia drivers for this board. Only way to get game port to work is install a card with game port on it, then everthing works fine.

Hi Guys
It seems as you answered my questions about the N420 gameport.
It should work with analog joysticks!
ender868 , Have you ever experienced any calibration problems when using the analog joystick you describe ?
Mike H , did you ever got your mainboard gameport working ?
I cant use my Precision Pro (1) joystick on the gameport as XP only support USB "drivers" for this old joystick and there is no MS Precision Pro (1) SW working in XP.
But this joystick works fine on the USB port with the XP default USB "drivers".

Server, game port on vista ultim

I have vista ultimate and cannot create a server on a game that I play over the internet. Is there anything I can do? I have been told it is because vista doesnt support a game port.Message Edited by Dirtnap0 on 05-2-2008 05:52 PM

it should have nothing to do with a game port. either check windows firewall. disable it via services. or allow the game u want to play. if u have any other firewall software installed check that also,
and if u are on a router. u may have to log in to allow the ports?

Does MSIKT4V Supports game port?

Hi, i've built my pc myself using MSI KT4V motherboard, athlon xp 2200, with 512MB DDR RAM. And the realtek sound card was built in.
I tried to install a cmedia 8738 sound card for it's gameport. I can get everything enable in the device manager but when i plug joypad into the gameport, nothing happens...???
Does my motherboard support game port, or what kind of problem am i looking at here?Software or hardware??
Thanks !!

I had the same problem with a logitech joystick I had... but I was using a sound blaster sound card, every time I tried to install it it would crash or do something I didn't like, I actually had to get the updated driver from logitech and then it worked sweet. But that will only work if the gameport is being detected, you might need to visit C-Media's website to obtain the latest drivers for that card, if after all that it still doesn't work I recommend updating to a creative sound card, those work good with KT4V
