Description to save a click: BlackHole is a modern macOS virtual audio driver that allows applications to pass audio to other applications with zero additional latency.
Has anyone found an easy way to route the audio to the speakers as well as through Blackhole? I use Ableton to do this, which works but feels like overkill and isn’t much good if I’m trying to tell someone else how to use it who doesn’t have Ableton. There used to be a little Apple app in some kind of extra tools zip which would route any input to any any output but it doesn’t work on newer macOS.
Super useful utility for those odd times you need to record the system audio. Seems more stable than Soundflower, and I don’t need to do this often enough that I’d invest in Audio Hijack!

Fun fact: Apples tries to prevent you from using virtual audio devices like BlackHole with macOS's dictation and speech to text features. I've been unable to get macOS to output the high quality Siri voice to a virtual audio device for recording. It forces a lower quality voice. Sadly this derailed my plans to use it as a free audio transcripter... (but there's better alternatives and a workarounds)
$ say -v Samantha -o out.aiff "Hello World"

Does this use lower quality voice? $ say -v Samantha -o out.aiff "Hello World" $ open out.aiff
say -v "com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.custom.siri.helena" hi

Your question seems to be covered here with some limitations. https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole/wiki/Multi-Out...

A MacOS aggregate audio device might help? https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202000
