Is there a pci card with game port(s) besides a sound card? My audigy 4 doesn't have one and I wouldn't mind using some of these joysticks..

I know of USB to Game Port adapters but I heard they suck, anyone here got one and recommend it?
 
Well, I could not find a PCI Game port card. :( But I have heard of folks using a second cheap PCI sound card with a game port just for the game port. They let XP "discover" the new hardware, but ensured the new sound drivers were disabled - they had to be installed or XP would re-discover them, just disabled. One guy had to reinstall his sound drivers after. I think XP and the new sound card would behave - I just would not trust Creative to cooperate. So if you do this, make sure you back up all critical data and create a System Restore point, just in case you encounter problems.

Cheap PCI Sound Card

It would seem your only other options are to replace the sound card with a model that has a game port. Use USB joystick. Or try one of those adaptors.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
 
I think you have very few options these days. You would be better off spending the money on a new device.
