Dude, as well as I know, It is a children's piano keyboard, and it is meaning 4 u it's a very cheap keyboard, that's why what have not digital hardware, it have only 5-pin midi out port, and phones output port (I don't much in English - and don't know how clear it for you). When you bought this device you must thinked about next:
1. You can bought midi hardware for you PC (from midi to usb), like a midisport or onemidi hardware
2. Or (I think that variant is better) buy normal midi-keyboard, and don't make a braindamage for yourself Big Grin

PS. That's variant need you if you do not want to get origianal sound from you keyboard and use it like a midi keyboard. And there is one more serious think, your Casio can't release sound, sound synt is for young children only, and it can't recognize pushing by you velocity.

If the unit only has a headphone out you have to use this to record the sound. Get a cable that matches the inputs of your sound card:

if your inputs are on jacks, get a stereo minijack to dual mono jack Y-cable.
if your inputs are on XLR, get a stereo minijack to dual mono XLR Y-cable.

You don't need to install any drivers on your computer. You do need some recording software (something like FL Studio, Ableton, Reason, Cubase, Logic etc). You can use any input of your sound card. Just select the right inputs in your recording software. (e.g. if you have hooked it up to inputs 5 and 6 choose these in your software).
