Looking for Dual-PC USB Audio Interface

Hello!
I am currently looking for an audio interface to link between two PCs.
I am looking for 3 in/out to 3 in/out (i.e. 3 Audio channels on each PC), or at least 3 - 2

The Lewitt Connect 6 is currently the closest I am finding at 3 in/out to 1 in/out.

I am trying to reduce the amount of cable clutter I have linking the pcs,
Any suggestions?

The way USB functions, you can't share a USB device between two computers.... However, you could do some network based routing from one computer to another, but that's a bit advanced. There are also interfaces, like the Pro Motu lines, where you can link two interfaces together via AVB and each interface has its own USB connection, and that works because there are two different interfaces working together

Hi, u/Rumstein! This is a reminder about Rule #1 (If you have already added great details, awesome, ignore this comment. This message gets attached to every post as a reminder):

  1. DETAILS MATTER: Use detail in your post. If you are posting for help with specific hardware, please post the brand/model. If you need help troubleshooting, post what you have done, post the hardware/software you are using, post the steps to recreate the problem. Don’t post a screenshot (or any image, really) with no context and expect people to know what you are talking about.

How about Dante virtual Soundcard (https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-virtual-soundcard), Install the software and you can use USB->network adapter as audio interface between the computers at up to 64 channels, use the Dante controller software to patch the channels. If you use a network switch you can choose/buy many hardware devices to add to your set-up and are available to al your devices in the network.
