How are you connected to the computer? Analog? USB? If you’re using an analog connection the keyboard’s line-outputs should be connected to line-in (blue) on a soundcard. (The microphone input on a laptop can “work” but it’s not “correct” and there are a couple of different types of 3.5mm connectors.)

in other programs I have no problems

Are you using MIDI or audio? Which one do you want?* Audacity is not a MIDI application.

It looks like the Casio USB connection works either way but you may have to configure the keyboard, or maybe install a driver (I don’t know).

  • If you don’t know the difference, MIDI sends “messages” that mean things like, “Play note C-1 at 50% volume”. Then the actual sound is generated by virtual instruments (computer software). MIDI gives you a lot more flexibility if you want to change notes & timing or change instruments after recording/capturing, etc. You can make an entire orchestral production in software even without a keyboard, but everybody who does serious work like that uses a keyboard.

If you just want to record your performance, audio is simpler.
