I'm a little confused. The MIDI UART is the MIDI interface. (Typically, the
program will not show the device attached to the interface, but rather the
interface itself.) Is the UART option not working?

And just to be sure, you're trying to make sound from the SB Live! and not
trying to send MIDI to play on the RS-9. Correct? (If you are trying to make
the RS-9 play, the cables would need to be switched to the opposite In-Outs
at both ends.)

The cable color most likely needs to be the same at both ends.

I just purchased a Roland RS-9 Synthesizer and I cannot make it work
with the MIDI input in my Soundblaster Live Platinum card.
I am connect Midi out on the keyboard to Midi in on the front
connector on the Live Platinum card. No matter what I try, I
do not get audio.
When I go to:

"keyboard", then
"Options", then
"Select Midi in",
it just shows 2 options:
(None) and
SB Live! MIDI UART

I believe I should have more options there, it is as if my computer is not
seeing the keyboard.

Although I tried everything, I have a double Midi cable with a grey and
orange
connectors. I am connecting the keyboard output to the card input and it
does not work. Am I right or should I connect the other cable as well?
Does the color of the connector have any meaning (other than identifying
which is which)?
I am running Windows 2000 in a Pentium 4 1.7Gb with 256 Mb RAM.
Everything else (audio, CD, video, etc.) works perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
