Kawai usb to host plus usb card

#1

Will I be able to use headphones from my computer or cheap usb interface AND the Kawai usb plug ?

A friend has a Kawai keyboard that uses the standard usb interface and should work, but I want him to hear tracks when he plays (and records).

I don’ t have a fancy usb interface here in the states and just a portable ($5 Unitek) usb sound card for mic and headphones.

Ardour does not let me use 2 usb intefaces, but I was wondering what would happen when I use this keyboad to usb…?

Will it let me use separate input and output usb devices?

One hack idea I had was to get a double male 5mm cord and plug it into the mic-in of my cheap unitek USB card.

Is the Kawai Keyboard a USB MIDI device (not audio)? – If so, you can use it alongside a soundcard,

yes I think so … not sure… it is kawai mp11se.
The usb jack on the back is part of the midi in/out jacks.
another post here also says that it is usb compliant standards.

Okay… I guess the best way to figure it out is to bring my computer over and try it. But just want to know in advance if possible
