Workaround
Other Notes
This isn't a bug, but rather a question- Is there a way (with the push of a button on the deck would be ideal) to release the a stream deck from sound flow so that it can see and sync to the Elgato software, and then possibly hit a button for Sound Flow to re capture it? I'd love the ability to switch between the two softwares without having to go into the sound flow settings and tell it to let go of the stream deck. Is this a possibility? Thanks!

Right now, this functionality is not available. Unfortunately, the way the Stream Deck app is designed takes control of all connected Stream Deck devices, and so SoundFlow is designed to function the same way.
This means you’ll need to choose between using SoundFlow's direct Stream Deck integration for everything (our recommended approach) or relying entirely on the Stream Deck app, which requires manually configuring each connection through the Stream Deck plugin system. The latter method is less stable and makes it more difficult to move between computers using your SoundFlow account.
If you prefer to use the older method, please refer to the following guide (scroll down to the section titled "Our old guide (SoundFlow 3.6 and previous)"):
How to set up SoundFlow with Stream Deck (Old method)
Out of interest, is there a specific reason you'd like to use both the SoundFlow integration and the Elgato Stream Deck app?
