to do both at the same time you need a port sharing program like LP Bridge."

The second half of this sentence is incorrect. You can do radio control on
the USB port at the same time as you are using the USB audio codec in the
radio without the need for any port sharing program. The USB audio codec is
functionally independent of the COM port.

The need for a port sharing program like LP Bridge arises only when you are
using the same COM port from more than one program at a time. In contrast,
unlike the COM port which cannot be shared between programs, you can use
the audio codec from multiple programs simultaneously (e.g. multiple RTTY
decoders decoding the same audio signal in parallel).
