Hello!
If you prefer graphics, watch this helpful video by Chupacabra Tutorials:
So most of you know, to capture audio from a Mac you need an extension like Soundflower. But what most of you don't know is that you can use another extension to capture audio. I present to you, iShowU Audio Capture!
CHECKLIST
1. Install iShowU Audio Capture(link in checklist) like you installed Soundflower.
2. (optional)Uninstall Soundflower.
3. Open Audio MIDI Setup. Click the "+" button at the bottom left of the window. Choose "Create Multi-Output Device".
4. Check the boxes for Built-in Output & iShowU Audio Capture in the "Use" column. Also check the box for Built-in Output in the "Drift Correction" column to prevent audio sync issues.
5. Open System Preferences, then go to Sound. In the Output section, select your newly created multi-output device.
6. Open OBS. Go to Settings, then Audio. Select iShowU Audio Capture as one of your Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device.
After this, you should be able to record & stream with audio. Enjoy!
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: Why do you need to put the extension in Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device, not Desktop Audio Device?
A: In theory, Soundflower & iShowU Audio Capture are 2 different extensions. iShowU Audio Capture is a virtual mic while Soundflower is a virtual audio grabber. So any virtual mic goes into the Mic/Auxiliary Audio Device & any virtual audio grabber goes into Desktop Audio Device.
Q: Can you use this with Quicktime?
A: Absolutely! Just select iShowU Audio Capture in the Microphone section.
Q: Why does my video have no sound?
A: You opened the program you intended to record before switching to the Multi-Output Device. The device will only capture audio from any program opened after switching.
