I'd guess that the device assumes that someone will always read from its capture port, and when nobody does, and that buffer overflows, the output direction is also affected. Please try just "aconnect 24 14" (i.e., reading data and throwing it away) and then playing something to 24:0. Does the keyboard send anything when you're not pressing keys?
