no I have never had two alters out at the same time talking. I used to fear such an event but my therapist told me she didnt believe DID worked that way. she said a person can switch from one alter to another very quickly but only one can be in control of the body at one time. she said that sometimes more than one alter can be listening and be aware of whats going on (co consciousness) at the same time in the same way that your brain takes in whats happening with all the senses all at once...example you can see, smell and taste a hotdog at the same time. one alter may be hearing whats going on while another alter can see whats going on, and another alter can taste the food being eaten kind of thing but only one alter at a time controls the body...

kind of like some people with DID can co consciously be like a back seat driver or floating on the ceiling, or sunk into their mattress or wall, watching or hearing what the alter in control of the body is doing.

your location may believe differently maybe you can contact your treatment providers, let them know whats going on and maybe they can explain to you whats happening to you.
