you will need the usb drivers for the joystick, install them then plug the
joystick in.
does the 8300 have a standard joystick port.

The *game port* usually was on the sound card. The
Audigy 2 doesn't have one, but has 1394 and extra
line out jacks. The 8300 doesn't have one either,
but the SoundBlaster Live option does still have one.
