I am using a similar setup, PC with SB AWE 64 Value and MIDI-Split-
Cable connected to the Joystick/MIDI-Port without any problems.
If he can´t request any sounds from the synth despite he set all
parameters on the synth and on AN1xedit right, there are several
hardware-error sources:

- the MIDI-cable is broken
- the soundcard-MIDI-port is broken
- the AN1x-MIDI-port is broken

So, exchangeing the cable might be the cheapest solution, if it still
doesn´t work, exchange the soundcard, if it still doesnt work, i
would recommend to check at his friends place if his AN1x MIDI-port
might be broken (which i actually doubt, this is my fifth Yamaha
product and i never had any problems with the MIDI-ports, despite all
rumours, their products are built like rocks, even when they look
plastic-ish).
