Q: 2. Can i use both PC and Mac together with this KVM?

Q: 3. Would I be able to use this KVM switch to have audio playing out my studio monitors? I use the scarlett 2i2 interface to connect to a pc via USB. Would it be possible to connect both PC towers to the KVM switch and use the same Scarlett USB audio interface to switch playback for the studio (audio) monitors from each pc tower?

A: While the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface could be connected to multiple PCs using the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio, it would not be able to serve as an audio source for two separate software programs running on two PCs at the same time. It could be used with software on one PC and then, if that software is closed or the Scarlett is disconnected from it, could be used again with another software on a separate PC.
