It depends. If the device uses the built-in USB Audio Class driver, you should see both instances of the device show up on the system. The built-in USB Audio Class driver supports multiple instances of the same device just fine.

If the device uses a custom driver, then all bets are off. I would hope that you would always see the first one you plugged in, but it really depends on how the driver works. I imagine that if you booted a machine with both plugged in, the one the system would see might be random.

FWIW, there's nothing in the system that would keep a developer from making a driver that supports accessing both devices simultaneously when plugged in.

I want to use two identical Core Audio-compatible USB audio devices for recording simultaneously in OS X 10.3.9.
The maker of the device says they do not support multiple devices at the same time.


What will actually happen if I connect two identical USB audio devices to one Mac?
Will OS X name them differently?
