        you should have read the readme file. those two cards cannot

        i paid special attention to it since i owned an audigy1 before
        i got emu1212m.
        do you really need an audigy in there?
        if you are into music, i say ditch the audigy.

        it is the fact that you record midi, not audio. then, basically,
        with the yamaha keys you play windows general midi synth
        available on your soundcard. you yamaha behaves like a dumb
        controller with no sounds this way. if you want to hear your yamaha
        properly, record it as audio, not midi.
        it looks like you do not know the difference between audio and
        midi well. midi is just numbers - notes and controllers (pitch bend,
        volume, pan, filter cutoff, resonance, etc.). you cannot
        transfer audio via midi cable, nor midi data via audio cable, that
        are two completely different things.
