Is there other way to make joystick/midi connection beside using
sound card joystick/midi port. I'm using sound from Mobo provided. Is
there such thing as
USB connection joystick/midi port?

Well, googling for "usb joystick adapter" returns some promising items. Of
course you can also use usb joysticks/pads directly with your usb port. You
can also use playstation/console controllers on your parallel port with
DirectPad Pro and a home made adapter (I've been meaning to try that
myself).

Yes for either, but I don't think you will find one device that does
both like a legacy soundcard game port would.

I think what you are looking for is the Radio Shack USB to Game Port Adaptor
Model: 26-164
