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

Well, I can't guarantee it will be in the next few minutes, as I am caregiver for my wife and two stupid Shih Tzu money pits... so please don't hang out hitting F5 for me, Tom! I'd feel awful if you did... like I said, enjoy your weekend, I'll go through checking everything this evening and tomorrow...

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

Thanks Tom - I find it curious that I'm able to hear everything else on the PC via these speakers (music, video, messaging and that Cortana chick) but I would need additional setup for my music audio input... but I'll go in and check it all again, thanks

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

What do you mean, taking so long? Not for me! I'm grateful for the time you are giving me in troubleshooting! Yes, it's a 5.1 channel card with an optical audio output. That's the SPDIF Out, and it's going to low-latency speakers. I don't think that's the issue as much as it is an input issue, becau...

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

Thanks Tom & Joe! I appreciate your taking the time to help! First of all, it's a 3.5mm stereo aux cable running from the Yamaha to the sound card, not RCA jacks. I want to make sure we're all on the same page. I went to Preferences and set up the audio per your advice. Line in, wav audio. SPDIF...

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

Thanks - I'll recheck my preferences and make sure everything is as you instructed. Sometimes the simple things trip us up. That would save me considerable time and angst, as I wouldn't look forward to telling the Darling Bride that I need ANOTHER gadget
:P

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

Seriously? So my Audigy 5Rx sound card can't take in analog audio and send it to Mixcraft? Or Mixcraft doesn't know what to do with analog audio? I'm not trying to sound upset, and I appreciate the information. It's just very frustrating to learn that I need yet ANOTHER piece of hardware to get simp...

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

Okay folks, so I ordered a 3-meter aux cable and 1/4" adapter for the Yamaha. Plugged it into the L/R-Out jack on the keyboard and ran it to the 3.5mm Line In jack on the sound card. Opened Mixcraft and... it kept wanting to use the VST instrument and my Yamaha as a controller. After sleeping o...

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

Thanks, Myran, for the fast response!

So USB won't work, I take it - I need to use an aux cable to go from output to input. Well, I wouldn't have thought of that, so you've helped already! I'll buy a nice, long aux cable and some adapters. I'll follow up with the result!

Yamaha PSR-S975 - What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, Acoustica folks! I'll introduce myself in another thread: but let's say that my proficiency level is somewhere below "Novice" and somewhere above "Lacking a Pulse". Hoping I'm in the right section of the Forums, here's my crisis du jour: I have a Yamaha PSR-S975 Arrange...
