How can I send sound from my windows lap top through GS88? I've already connected with usb cable, but im not getting GS as a sound device.

The USB B port on the Grandstage is only for passing MIDI data. There is no audio over USB on the Grandstage, nor is there the facility to pass analogue audio into the Grandstage. If you want to merge laptop sounds with Grandstage sounds, use a mixer, or alternatively, feed Grandstage audio out into the laptop's audio in port, if it has one, and mix the audio streams using the laptop's mixer.

Oh I see... I could do that with my Roland Fantom 6, but obviously not with this Korg... Thanks for the answer and suggestions!

The Roland Fantom supports MIDI over USB but, like the Grandstage, it doesn't support audio over USB, although the Fantom does have analogue audio inputs. The Grandstage will respond to MIDI song data sent from the laptop over USB, with the audio being generated by the Grandstage. I wonder if that's what you meant.

Actually, what I meant is I used to connect my lap top and roland and than listen audio from my lap top through roland over my studio speakers...In that way I could play song and than just follow with my keyboard.

Then the mixer route is the way to go. Search on e.g. Amazon for "Pepperdecks DJOCLATE Pocket Audio Mixer" or something similar. It's a simple and inexpensive passive audio mixer. An alternative is the Behringer Xenyx 502.
