Default Icom R1500 USB driver, intermittent, audio dead

Hello Folks,

Has anyone ever had this happen and maybe knows what could be wrong?

The Icom R1500 behaves like a PCR1500 when controlled via the PC. Or so
says Icom. When I try to control it through the virtual COM3 port via
USB it seems to have lots of data traffic jams. If I turn the "virtual"
dial too fast the R1500 seems to lag. Sometimes it doesn't react at all
and seconds later starts slowly tuning through all the frequencies I had
chosen. This can go on for half a minute until it has trundled out.

Audio is supposed to go via the same USB cable but not as a serial COM
port. Well, that part doesn't work at all, no audio.
