2 joysticks on 2 sound cards
i have 2 sound cards installed in my computer Aureal Vortex and sound blaster 16 pnp. I use Vortex for sound and sb is disabled in device manager except for game port. I have problem getting 2 joysticks to work (each connected to sound card). How do I configure it so both of my joysticks work.
having 2 sound cards in 1 pc can cause conflicts...if u want to use 2 Joysticks, you should buy a joystick with a port on it so you can hook up another Joystick to it, you can try and enable your sb16 pnp card, then try an assign it its own Interrupt because i would think it would be conlicting with your current soundcard, see if this helps

This does not answer my question. I want to know how to connect 2 joysticks to what i have. I dont want to buy anything else.
You must read : (precedent answer)
It's not possible to use 2 games ports on the same computer (same I/O port = conflict).
Moreover, games are not able to control 2 games ports.
But : a game port : 2 channels. (4 analogic inputs and 4 digitals (buttons) inputs). You can use 2 ordinary joysticks ( 2 axes, 2 buttons).
The only way : to buy a Y cable ! ( it's possible to made one if you have a soldering iron )
Sorry.
