Sampling all the instruments from my Yamaha keyboard?

Connect the audio output from keyboard to the audio input of the sound card. Connect the MIDI output of the computer to the MIDI input of the keyboard. I'm assuming you'll set up a MIDI sequence in your DAW to play notes at a pre-chosen volume to ensure you get the exact volume and desired duration of each note from your keyboard.

Configure a track in your DAW to record audio, press record, begin playback of the MIDI track. I think that should work.

[edit]: Oops. I see Michael already explained the same thing.

Do you not have speakers plugged into your computer through a sound card already? I figure if you're using a DAW you must already have a sound card to provide an audio output to your speakers. No?
