Headphone jack AND the built-in speakers simultaneously?
I'm outputing my iMac's audio to a 5-speaker audio system, but I'd like my Mac's built-in speakers to be playing as well. How can I achieve this?
iMac, iOS 7.1

Hi,
You can't.
Placing a jack in the socket cuts the Internal Speakers
I used to have this issues with a G4/1ghz dual Processor tower.
It had an Audio Out socket at the back and a Headphone socket on the Front.
Placing a headset in the front socket cut out put to the rear socket.
Utilities like Sound Flower can make some progress to mixing outputs from different apps but not the physical restrictions of the hardware.
