Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

No, I don't have two outputs connected to the Yamaha at any one time. It's been either the USB cable to the PC OR the Line Out aux cable to the sound card. Not both, ever. The condenser mic has a dedicated input to the Yamaha, so no mic is currently connected to the computer. One would think, though...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

To answer Mark Bliss: I disconnected the USB mic, so there should be no conflict. The Windows sound settings has the input for Line In on the Sound Blaster Audigy card. I changed the output from SPDIF to the Speakers, and it tests fine. SPDIF is the digital optical audio output from the sound card t...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

If that's the case, I was sold a false bill of goods on the Sound Blaster Audigy 5Rx, as I specifically asked: "here's what I intend to do, will this work for me?" and was told YES. There are enough gamers out there that I can still recover some of the cost by reselling it. As Jlouver poin...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Joe: when I boot up the keyboard and it's ready, Windows DOES recognize it with a "USB accessory detected" tone. At least it did when I had it connected with the USB cable. Since it's going directly to the Line In jack of the sound card, via an aux audio cable, how would Windows re...

Got it, will do. I probably won't have a result for you until at least tomorrow. Thanks

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Tom: I'm on my phone, choking down dinner but I wanted to answer. I don't have anything connected to the Line Out jack on the sound card. I use the SPDIF optical audio out to the sound system. I really haven't even played with the Line Out on the card...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

FWIW: That my friend is called poor Customer Service. :( Yeah, I think that qualifies! :P So I had a chance to do a little more testing and troubleshooting: this time, I took a good, hard look at the Line Out signal. I connected the aux cable to a portable Bluetooth speaker that also has an aux inp...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Oh: I thought you guys might get a kick out of the in-depth graphics of the PSR-S975. There is absolutely no chart or graph ANYWHERE that maps out the various sound effects, based on various sound option selections. When I complained to Yamaha about that, I was lectured to the effect that such knowl...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Great idea, Greg et al, on checking the line out signal! I have just been socked with an overnight trip out of state, so lucky me gets to shut it all down and start packing... thanks much, I'll continue troubleshooting and isolating into the weekend. You folks are awesome! EDIT: Okay folks, it's Sun...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Okay folks, I'm burning out working on this problem today, and will have to resume in the morning. But to answer your questions: Here is the rear input panel of the sound card: Audigy5Rx_Inputs.png My input from the keyboard is in the 3rd jack in from the end farthest from the optical audio port. I ...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

At some point you’re probably going too want an external audio interface... Just saying. :wink: Thanks, jlouvar - I already have the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in the cart. But since this Yamaha has analog audio out, and the sound card has analog audio in, I would like to think that a program as advanc...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Gotcha, Greg - thanks While you were typing that all, I ohmed out the cable and 1/4" adapter: they are fine. I tested the cable with my phone and home theater's aux jack, and it played. I also went into the recording settings per your post. Here are the Sound settings: Sound1.png Here are the r...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, folks: #1 - Speaker configuration is not the issue. I have the Enclave 5.1 low-latency wireless speakers: although for projects like this, I would use my Audio Technica monitor headphones. There is no issue getting sound out of Mixcraft. My issue is getting sound INTO it. My USB condenser ...

Re: Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Tom - just know that I am not attempting to record the PC output, but the keyboard output. The PC speakers are only for playback, nothing else 8)
