Looks like they haven't changed since 2014. (I updated anyway, to no avail.)

That seems unlikely to me—I mean, for there to be a defect. I suspect this is WAD, the option hidden or suppressed somehow.

Also in the BiaB MIDI edit mode check for CC7, CC2 or CC11 as these effect volume. CC7 is the main volume controller and maybe your keyboard is sending a low number, i.e. low numbers mean low volume. This only has to to with volume and not your latency problem.


How do I get to MIDI edit mode? (The edit modes I saw would not allow me to select the "thru".)

Note that in virtually all cases ASIO drivers are needed to eliminate latency when recording.


Huh.

One thing to understand is that Creative cards are for playing games and watching movies but they are not the best for recording music. If you want the least amount of latency you should invest in an USB Audio Interface. Even the least expensive Audio Interface such as a Focusrite Scarlett Solo:


Not to be dense, but how would adding a device between the keyboard and computer reduce latency?

I do appreciate all the help!
