I also still have the USB cable still plugged in straight to my computer. The Axiom works perfectly fine now and does what it is supposed to do now. I hope this helps those of you who are still having trouble with this issue. 
My computer specs are:
Acer Aspire 4739Z-4462 Laptop
Intel Pentium P6200
6GB DDR3 Memory
Intel HD graphics
500 GB HDD

Sorry, but something is way wrong here...
The
EXPR jack on your keyboard is for connecting an expression pedal, and should not be carrying any audio, expecially in the case of the Axiom, which doesn't carry any audio, either.
The
Guitar port on the Fast Track is (obviously) where you would plug in a guitar.
The USB cables from
both the Axiom and the Fast Track should be plugged
directly into your computer. If you cannot plug them both
directly into the computer, make sure you use a
powered hub to connect them to the computer.
There is no need to connect the Axiom and the Fast Track together with
any cable. And the way you currently have them connected creates the possibility of damaging one or both of your devices.
Be as creative as you want to with your music, but setting up your recording gear has to be done totally by the book. If you set it up by the book and it doesn't work, that means something is broken. It could be a bad USB cable or a driver issue, or it could be one of your "larger" pieces of equipment.
The Internet is full of diagnostic test instructions, so is this forum. Follow these instructions and you can usually resolve the problem. But just randomly plugging and unplugging cables
when you don't know what you're doing could damage your equipment...
