I want to connect Bluetooth speakers plus earphones. Is there a third party plugins that allow me to do so? I know I can use MIDI, but its not 100%.
Issues with this MIDI:
Thanks.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
Hello Girshon Rutstein,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you have a question about using more than one Bluetooth device with your iMac, and I'd like to help.
You can use more than one Bluetooth device with your iMac. You'll connect a second device as you connected the first, following the device's manufacturer instructions.
Using a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, or trackpad with your Mac has some great info.
Take care!

Hey Girshon Rutstein,
Thanks for the reply, we appreciate it!
Check that article we provided, as it has a section titled "Connect multiple Bluetooth devices to one computer", which shows up to seven devices, but optimal is three to four. Here's the article again: Using a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, or trackpad with your Mac
Enjoy your day!
Hi Girshon Rutstein,
Thanks for the clarification, that really helped.
I was able to find an article which goes into how to set this up. Combine multiple audio interfaces by creating an Aggregate Device
To summarize; connect each device separately, so the Mac remembers that they exist. Then use the process in the above article to create a single device from all of them, and use that as the output in the System Preferences > Sounds settings page.
I wish you the very best!
@ryane77 thanks for you help, now we are talking. I know about this Aggregate Device, and using it I have some problems. If you look my original post, it does talk about the MIDI, the aggregate option. I am repeating the issues that I am having:
Therefore I questioned if there is a 3rd party app or plugin that has a better solution.
Sorry, but you did not get my question. I want to use a few multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time. Like Bluetooth speakers and 2 pair of Bluetooth earphones
@BreeZee_17, I know about this article from a few years ago, and there is a paragraph the ability to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices. But it does not explain how to make the sound coming to Blue Tooth Earphones, Blue Tooth speakers, and make the music sound from all at them at the same time. Hope this clarifies.
