Try rebooting your PC, and then don't start any other programs, not even a web browser. In that case, if something else on your PC has grabbed your MIDI driver first, you can get that memory error in Cakewalk because the USB MIDI class compliant driver cannot be shared by two applications on the PC at the same time. I don't see a driver download available for the Q49, so by default it must be using the class compliant driver in Windows.

This is basically where I'm stuck with setting up the keyboard. I also have a microphone plugged into my computer (which Windows detects), and (not sure if this makes any difference) in Cakewalk audio recording preferences, I have the driver mode set to ASIO. The other error I get before Cakewalk opens is 'There are no audio devices for the current driver model on your system' (Screenshot 3) which I don't understand. I also get two other errors which I'm not sure are related or not one says 'Silent buses detected' and that silent bus is 'master' (Screenshot 2). However, I can't check the checkbox next to Q49 and instead, I get an error saying that the Q49 'doesn't have enough memory available' (Screenshot 1).

In Cakewalk under Preferences > MIDI > Devices, the Q49 is listed there. The keyboard driver is up to date, as I checked the device manager. My computer (Windows 10) is able to recognize the device just fine.
