It was the traditional connector for joystick input, and occasionally MIDI devices, until made obsolete by USB in the late 1990s. Originally located on a dedicated Game Control Adapter expansion card, the game port was later integrated with PC sound cards, and still later on the PC's motherboard. During the transition to USB, many input devices ...
D-subminiature connectors are used to carry balanced analog or digital audio on many multichannel professional audio equipment, where the use of XLR connectors is impractical, for example due to space constraints. The most common usage is the DB25, using TASCAM's pinout (now standardised in AES59 by the Audio Engineering Society [1]). To avoid ...
The Ricoh RF5c68 is an eight-channel sound chip developed by Ricoh. It is notably used in Fujitsu's FM Towns computer series, along with Sega's System 18 and System 32 arcade game system boards. [10] The RF5c68 supports eight 8-bit PCM channels, with 19.6 kHz [11] or variable sampling rate. Audio bit depth ranges from 8-bit to 10-bit. [11] [12]
D-subminiature connectors are often used in industrial products, the DA-15 version being commonly used on rotary and linear encoders. DB-19 connector for an external floppy drive on a Macintosh 512K. The early Macintosh and late Apple II computers used a non-standard 19-pin D-sub for connecting external floppy disk drives.
VDMSound allows the user to provide custom mappings for MIDI instruments as well as for joystick buttons and axes. MIDI mappings are particularly useful when the type of MIDI device supported by a game (e.g. MT-32) is different from the type of hardware or software device actually present on the system (e.g. Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth.)

Single-wire connectors used frequently for analog audio include: Banana connectors; Spade connectors; Five-way binding posts and banana plugs for loudspeakers; Fahnestock clips on early breadboard radio receivers. Euroblock "European-style terminal block" or "Phoenix connectors", screw terminal connectors used for audio and control signals
Most Sound Blaster 16 cards feature connectors for CD-audio input. This was a necessity since most operating systems and CD-ROM drives of the time did not support streaming CD-audio digitally over the main interface. The CD-audio input could also be daisy-chained from another sound generating device, such as an MPEG decoder or TV tuner card.
