Genos, Tyros 5, PSR S975, PSR 2100
and PSR-47.
Former keyboards: PSR-S970.

Here is a link to the "Yamaha Computer Related Operations" publication. Check the farthest column to the right on the last two pages for current Yamaha models that provide USB Audio Interface capabilities via the USB "To Host" port. Currently, only recent versions of some of the PSR-E Series (and some of their CLP/CSP/CVP/YDP counterparts) have these capabilities:

https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/9/1094839/computer_en_rm_m0.pdf

This publication was released prior to release of the PSR-S975, PSR-S900X, and Genos, but I can find no reference to "USB Audio" in the Owner's Manuals for any of those models.

Since you have already installed the Steinberg driver, I would recommend uninstalling it, as there are reports of it interfering with normal USB-MIDI performance via the To Host port, when it is installed for the wrong models. When that driver is installed, it expects to find a USB Audio port, when that is not there, it tends to mess things up for USB-MIDI, particularly as you come forward from Windows-7 to the newer iterations of Windows 8 and 10.

Please Accept my answer by providing you with the best possible solution. Would be more glade.
THANK YOU

Unfortunately, as Yamaha no longer supports the PSR 910 arranger, it may be challenging to find a driver that would allow it to be recognized by a Mac computer, especially if it's running on a newer operating system. Yamaha's official website and customer support may not be able to provide a solution, but there are a few options you could consider:

Try using a third-party MIDI interface: A MIDI interface can translate MIDI signals from the PSR 910 to a format that your Mac computer can understand. You can find various MIDI interfaces on online marketplaces such as Amazon.

Use a computer with an older operating system: If you have access to an older computer running a compatible operating system, you may be able to connect the PSR 910 and use it with your music software.

Try a different music software: There are other music software options available, some of which may be more compatible with older hardware like the PSR 910. You can try searching for alternative options and see if any of them work with your keyboard.
