Is it possible to have 2 soundcards in your system at once?

Hi,

Was wondering if it's possible to have 2 sound cards in your system at the same time. I'm getting digidesign digi 001 set up soon to start doing some recoding on my computer. I'm currently running an Audigy in my system and would like to keep it for watching DVD's in 5.1 and for gamin purposes. Is it possible to have both of these in my system (or maybe the digi 001 and the Audigy 2) and switch between them thru windows or something? Thanks.
 
I think you can do that...
you can switch between outputs/inputs from Ctrl panel > sounds & multimedia. set what device you prefer for playback/record.
 
that's what i was hoping. If anyone has had any experience with 2 soundcards (long shot, i know), i'd like to hear how you did it. Thanks
 
Yep, that will be possible 🙂

Some programs you will find that you can choose the soundcard to use in the program itself 🙂


Confused
 
Yes you can. The only obstacle is to make sure that only one of those cards installs a legacy soundcard emulation driver, else they'll collide.
