Audacity is an audio recorder/editing software. The nature of recording
that can be achieved with your keyboard (having had a quick glance at your
manual) is in saving MIDI and and file data from the unit. In simple
terms you cannot use the USB port on the keyboard to send audio to your
computer, it doesn't have the capability to do so. They are using USB
because it provides a richer interface than boring old MIDI and doesn't
frighten users quite so much who are not familiar and it is also
relatively cheap to do.
What you can do instead is use an audio lead plugged into the back of your
keyboard and connect it to the soundcard and then use Audacity or similar
to record the audio of the performance rather than the MIDI data.
There are keyboards and other modules that stream audio data to PCs but
these live higher up in the market food chain and are semi-pro/pro pieces
of kit costing rather more. But, as I say it is possible to achieve what
you want with the your existing kit for rather less than £15 extra.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

hi again, the keyboard is the Yamaha PSRE403, and according to information
from the Yamaha website, the e403 can be connected to the pc and be used
to record the e403 and edit the performance on the pc, and i have been
told Audacity can be used for this purpose, but i as yet have not found
anyone who has achieved this,
Billy

What is the model of the keyboard and purpose of the USB, it is possible
that it could be streaming audio back to the PC although this is more
the exception than the rule.

You just need an audio lead with suitable connections for the laptop
and
the keyboard end as well.
