Game port conflict

I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound and after installing it on my Biostar nForce2 M7NCG400 motherboard, i get a conflict on the game port, it says this devise cannot find enough free resorces that it can use (Code 12). When you open resorces and configure manualy Input / Output 0200 - 0207 is being used. When i viewed all resorces by type, i couldnot find anything using that i/o. I have the onboard sound and game port disabled in the bios and there is no douplicate hardware. i would like to correct this conflict as it might be the cause of my poor gaming performance

No, it's not effecting your gaming performance, but it's still annoying nevertheless. Welcome to the wonderful, quirky world of nForce2. Just disable the device under Device Manager and use the on-board gameport if you really need it. It's an issue with sound card drivers, but Voyetra has never really corrected it (even with their beta release 4193). Supposedly it was addressed in the 4186 beta, but the fix doesn't work for everyone. Just learn to live with it as it shouldn't cause a problem once it's disabled.

FYI, this problem effected the Audigy2 early on as well, but Creative fixed it last year starting with their 11 Feb 03 driver release.
