Can you use a Sirocco and Callisto simultaneously from same pc?

If not is there a shortcut/hotkey or something to easily switch back and forth between them?

Would there be any conflicts using both of these on the same pc?

Hi Samsou, The short answer

Hi Samsou,
The short answer is yes. The long answer is that it requires a bit of a hack.

Because both the Sirocco and Callisto are Windows audio devices, only one can be the default audio device at a time (that's the way Windows works). However, since Windows programs use the audio device that was set as default when they were opened, you can set different audio programs to send audio to different devices simultaneously.

For example,
1. Set the Callisto as the default audio output device in Windows.
2. Open up program A and start playing audio to the Callisto.
3. Connect to the Sirocco (make sure Dynamic audio switching is off)
4. Open up program B and start playing audio to the Sirocco.

Hope this helps,
Aaron
