DaveL Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have a Casio Privia PX-120 and want to connect it to my Toshiba Sattelite L775D laptop so I can play the PX-120 through the computer speakers and record myself on a webcam to post to youtube. I bought an auxiliary cable to connect the keyboard to the computer, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize the keyboard. I don't want to use Midi as I want to record myself playing. The keyboard works, and I can hear through the earphone port of the computer. Toshiba told me to contact Casio as the computer's sound seems to be fine, and it's just not recognizing the keyboard. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well the computer wouldn't "recognize" the Casio other than "seeing" it as an audio input. If you are getting audio out from headphones on the computer, it is obviously getting audio in from the Casio. The issue becomes: what program are you using to record the Casio? Have you looked there?. That is where you need to concern yourself with routing the signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Should the casio be able to play without using a program through my computer speakers if I'm connected with an auxiliary cable? I tried using the video recorder in Windows Media Live Photo Gallery, but I couldn't hear the casio. Not sure why though. I can record myself and hear the recording if the auxiliary cable isn't plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you need to tell your computer where to look for the signal. It's usually in the audio settings, but some computer use an audio "wrapper" for enhanced audio functions that may have its own control panel... That is where you need to look. Despite what Toshiba told you, this is a computer issue, not a Casio issue. Now this site may prove very useful to you unless you have one of those audio wrappers:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/record-audio-with-sound-recorder(you may need to poke around a bit if you have a different OS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
