There is another way to use your controller but simply using your stereo cable that goes from your sound card to your speakers or any Mono cable. By plugging one end into the JR and other into the Microphone port of the computer. You can then download and configure software to interpret the sound waves emitted by the transmitter into controls

A bit complicated but I found it took a long time to get the sound gains just right so you don't get any other interference. My suggestion would be to try an already build usb cable
