The question involved the K3, not the K3S.  In the K3, there is an 
RS-232 port rather than a USB connection - no soundcard in the K3 - at 
least until the KIO3B option is available, and then more confusion will 
be present and will result in asking if the owner has the KIO3B or the 
K3 original KIO3.

Your answer is correct for the K3S, but not for the K3.
The fact that he specified a USB to serial cable instead of just a USB 
cable tells me that he has a K3.
