Through this phono PreAmp receives its power. The gameport is channeled through

Stereo Line Out.
The line output is connected to the line in (input) of the sound card.
The output level of phono PreAmp can be adapted to the needed input sensitivity of

they are designed for a far lower and usually mono input level.
