That's how most people used it, yeah. But it's meant to be a midi port which is why it's on sound cards.

It often worked poorly as such though. While it worked great as a joystick port. I drew my own conclusions.

Tbf most things worked poorly back then. I constantly had to pop my 386 open and jiggle the ram to get it to boot

That's... not typical though.
