If one at a time, that's easy. Set them both up. Unplug and plug as needed.

Did you try a USB hub? I don’t know if that will work, but who knows?

You may be able to do this over ethernet with Voicemeeter in one of its incarnations. Investigate here: https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm There are plenty of youtube videos out there re sharing audio with this.
