Hey guys - yet another question

Does a joystick use the same IRQ as a soundcard, i.e. IRQ 5?

Why dont you take a look for yourself???? You know how to check the IRQ's right?

 

I should hope so! Got my exam week tomorrow!

But i dont use a joystick, and also my sound card comes under IRQ 18 on this PC!

Ill google it a bit more

 

Joysticks don't normaly have an IRQ requirement. Because of the way they work they are normally polled rapidly.
