I just upgraded to a Macbook Pro and MacOS Sonoma 14.6, and I can now no longer screen record with internal audio. I was previously using BlackHole to record audio, which worked just fine, but it has stopped working. I deleted and redownloaded BlackHole with no change.

here is the method I use.
to record the mac's internal sound with quicktime (or also “shift-command-5”) you need additional software. i use the free BlackHole Virtual Audio Driver. then you can choose "BlackHole 2ch" in the recording options instead of "Built-in Microphone."
you will also need to set up a multi-output device in your audio MIDI setup utility to be able to both hear and record the internal audio at the same time.
to set up a multi-output device:
Open Audio MIDI Setup: (found in /Applications/Utilities)
hit the '+' button in the bottom left corner and select "Create Multi Output Device"
then in the panel that appears on the right, in the Multi-Output Device tab, select "Built-in Output" AND "BlackHole 2ch". (and, if you want, any of your other connected devices.)
once you do that, (and BEFORE recording) you can choose "BlackHole 2ch" or "Multi-Output Device" in your menubar "sound options".
to both hear the speakers and record the audio at the same time, choose "Multi-Output Device". before choosing multi-out, set the internal speakers' volume to a comfortable level first. you cannot control the volume once you are in multi-out mode.

sorry, I forgot to address that. I only posted my reply incase you needed to set it up again after reinstalling blackhole.
