Recommendations for Audio Connections when PC Share Mode is Enabled

If you are using the audio feature while running PC Share mode, audio playback and capture are interrupted if an additional audio device is connected to the target.

For example, User A connects a playback device to Target1 and runs an audio playback application then User B connects a capture device to the same target. User A's playback session is interrupted and the audio application may need to be restarted.

The interruption occurs because the USB device needs to be re-enumerated with the new device configuration.

It may take some time for the target to install a driver for the new device.

Audio applications may stop playback completely, go to the next track, or just continue playing.

The exact behavior is dependent on how the audio application is designed to handle a disconnect/reconnect event.
