D-6 Troubleshooting
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" on page C-1.
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.
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 95/98.
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 95/98:
1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
