Larry,

Creative soundcard game ports rely on an emulation of Roland's MPU-401 midi interface standard. My Creative Windows XP sound card driver recognizes the sound card game port AND onboard midi instruments. I move the card to a computer running Windows Vista and I loose use of the game port and onboard midi instruments.

I have two of these Creative sound cards (Soundblaster Audigy 2). I bought them on clearance from BestBuy for $10 each. Love them!
