Apple requires programs like OBS to relay the sound through programs like soundflower or wavtap.

Im not sure if this will help but i use an "external sound card" aka a fiio DAC. Thats what i plug my headphones and speakers into.

You can open the "Audio Midi Setup" and your mac and create and aggregate device.

add your sound card and sounder flower ch2. call it something obvious if you'd like "USE THIS" and then set that aggregate device as your sound output.

It works for me, I haven't tried only making the aggregate device with the fiio, i don't even have sound flower open anymore but it works with the ch2 selected so i leave it.

I also have "drift correction" checked off for both, no real idea what that does, but again, it all works the way I want it to.

Only downside to this is you cannot change your volume using the OSX volume controls anymore, I adjust my headphone levels on the DAC itself and my speaker levels on the speaker volume knob.
