Yaesu-FT-991 USB Audio Codec question

In WSJT I have two USB Audio CODEC's listed:
Microphone (USB Audio CODEC)
Microphone (2-USB Audio CODEC)
Speakers (USB Audio CODEC)
Speakers (2 - USB Audio CODEC)

fldigi shows the same thing.   In WSJT, I had to select (2-USB Audio CODEC) for it to work.  I don't have fldigi set up yet, just took a peek to see which sound cards were listed.

I had zero USB Audio CODEC's until I turned on the FT-991, then I had two.   Is this normal?

Also, I have 3 COM ports associated with the rig:
Silicon Labs CP210X USB to UART Bridge (COM 4)
Silicon Labs CP210X USB to UART Bridge Enhanced Com Port (COM 5)
Silicon Labs CP210X USB to UART Bridge  Standard Com Port (COM 6)
Is this normal?  I expected two. 

Any input would be appreciated.  This computer stuff can be confusing when getting used to a new rig.

    YES...When the radio is powered on VIA the POWER SUPPLY there will be TWO COM PORTS reported.
    One com port is ENHANCED and the other is STANDARD.

    THREE CP210X ports??????????? Should only be two.

    I posted a FLDIGI installation document in our group files section. Check it out.

    Multiple devices, I'm guessing that:

    a) You have other devices with sound cards etc. (USB head set?)
    b) tried it in 1 USB port then tried it in another, your system has got some ghost entries.

    At around this point I would unplug it, reboot and then plug it back in - give it 30 seconds or so to settle down and install drivers etc. Then check device manager. I have many devices... I usually open up device manager to see current com ports and sound cards then plug it in to see what just got created. (Actually I deliberately got a powered USB hub with switches, this leaves things "plugged in" as I turn them on and off).
