The original cable I did solder and use with an oldish on-board gameport was without optical isolation. For the Terratec I added opto-couplers. > I seem to recall the isolator was > required when using a gameport (for galvanic isolation?) Correct, opto-couplers are a standard for MIDI to do galvanic isolation. > > Do the ports for most sound cards usually have the common pin > > allocation? > > I think gameport MIDI was a standard from the Soundblaster range, which > other soundcards of the time adopted.

If so the card might be broken all the time, it's a gift, or I might have killed it, because I did a bad soldering ... I didn't notice when my eyes switched from hawk's eyes to mole and there were issues for the jack when I added opto-couplers, because of my soldering. > > Cheers! > > Daniel Cheers!
