My reading of the available info about the KIO3B is that when the USB
port in the KIO3B is connected to a radio, the line in, line out
ports will be disabled. How would I make my setup work with the
KIO3B?
That is not correct. The K3S analog "Line Out" audio goes to both the
input of the USB CODEC and the Line Out jack at all times. Connecting
a plug to the Line In jack *disconnects* the output of the USB CODEC
and uses analog audio instead of the audio from the internal USB sound
card (USB CODEC).
The USB "serial port" can be used independently of the USB sound card
by making the appropriate selections in the configuration menu.
You could eliminate one USB sound card (for digital modes) and the USB
to serial converter in your SO2V configuration by using the KIO3B but I
doubt that you will see any increase in performance if the USB sound
card is of reasonable quality.

I'm wondering whether an upgrade to KIO3B would be a step
forward or a step backward for me. My current setup, which works FB,
uses two outboard USB sound cards. One outboard sound card runs CW
Skimmer using a Softrock SDR, K3IF out, and one laptop USB port. The
second sound card does digital modes and, having left and right
channels, allows me to work RTTY SO2V in N1MM+. It uses the K3 line in
and line out ports and a second laptop USB port. A third laptop USB
connects the laptop to the K3 RS232 port for radio control and logging.
LP Bridge creates the virtual com ports that make the K3 logging
software and sound cards work together. I use DXLab for routine logging,
N1MM+ for contest logging.

the USB port in the KIO3B is connected to a radio, the line in, line out
