Is it possible to hear a Bluetooth speaker and the internal speakers at the same time on the iMac with OSX 10.11.2 ?
I only can have either my Bluetooth speaker on or my internal speakers on in my Sound System Preferences output.
Is there a way to have both of them on at the same time?
Thank you for your patient 🙂
To my knowledge, no.

This worked for me you might want to give it a try.:
First go to Utilities and open "Audio MIDI Setup"
It should bring up this window listing all your audio devices listed in the column on the left.
Click on the + in the lower left and choose "Create Multi-Output Device" and check the boxes for the speakers you want to use.
Next open "System Preferences" And click on "Sound"
Goto "Output" and choose "Multi-Output Device"
and that should be it.
Good Luck

One thing, when I use the Multi-Output device I can't change the volume, it keeps the volume settings of each speaker from before the Multi-Output was activated. So you might want to set your desired volume on each speaker before you select the Multi-Output device. Once you switch back to a single device you'll be able to change the volume again. Hope this this helped
Thanks - this solved my problem! I wished the master volume could be controlled from the Mac however. Any one find a solution for that?
