Is it possible to plug in two audio devices (headphones + speakers) and switch between them rather than playing out of both simultaneously?

No, you will have to plug and unplug devices manually. You could get an adapter that does that though

The headphones can only use one input at a time. You could have the optical (digital) and the RCA jacks (analog) plugged in at once but only one can have activity. There is not a switch to select which input is to be used. You can get an additional switch box for either type of those inputs if you need or like. Note that there is a switch on the headphone tower for attenuating a analog signal (0db/-8db) which could be needed for some analog sources but not all. In that case you would have to switch two switches when changing from analog sources. Also note that the surround effect is not as pronounced or awesome until you use the digital complex input.

I don't think so. You'd use the switch if you wanted to selectively drive 2 PAIRS of speakers from the 2nd zone. The switch would allow you to drive Pair A or Pair B or A+B.

No, but perhaps you could find a bluetooth audio receiver and an auxiliary splitter to run wires to both devices!

both jacks works for both headphones and speakers, or if you want, both at the sametime

Yes, it would be good for that. It's just a passive mechanical A/B switch. I use it to switch 2 different sources into the one set of headphones. It can work to switch one source (like your headphone preamp) to two different headphones, or visa versus.

Yes as long as you are not using a headphone splitter where you plug two headphones in at the same time

I know there are dual plugs that you can plug two earphones( buds) at the same time and you'll both hear the same thing at the same time. ;-)

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

Yes, you can. Pair one, turn the other one on and push the"M" button on the paired one or on both, either way both will play the same song in sync. Now you are totally wireless to move the speakers apart for superb sound!

While there are two input options on the back of the speaker (mini-plug and RCA), I don't think you can use them both at once, since there is no mechanism for switching between them. More importantly, however, you would not wish to connect a power amplifier to the inputs of a powered speaker -- those RCA inputs should come from a pre-amp (line-level) source.

I'm pretty sure you cannot do that. Your iPhone toggles between music outputs. You cannot choose more than one at a time.

It can be done through the windows audio.... Speakers and headset on at the same time..But the wires broke the first week and is now garbage...

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.

Partially, do not have the input button, no way to change between audio sources

So to output the audio from source 2 playing on B, I also have to select source 2 on A ! Pretty limiting ...

It switches both audio and video at the same time, so yes you could use it for just audio switching...
