There’s some excellent Help info on how to use the Audio MIDI Setup application.
#Best mac sound settings mod
You can set the volume of each device in your MOD independently. So you’ll need to set the volume in the Audio Devices window of the Audio MIDI Setup application. You’ll notice the normal system-wide volume controller no longer works. If you choose Multi-Output Device, you’ll have sound coming out of all the devices set up in the MOD you set up.
Of course, you can option-click on the Sound volume icon in your menu bar, and select the Output Device there. You can select the Output Device either in the Audio Devices window or in the standard System Preferences > Sound panel. Just Control-click (or two-finger click, if your Mac is set up for that) to bring up the context menu on each Subdevice. I also found I had best results when I selected Resample this subdevice on each device in the MOD. My JBL Charge was locked in to 44,100.0 Hz 2ch-32bit Float, so I set the Built-in Output to this setting too. You do this by selecting each device under the MOD in the left panel. Make sure both devices are set to the same Sample Rate. I then ticked Drift Correction on the JBL Charge (in my case). I found I had the best results when I set the Master Device to “Built-in Output” (assuming you wish to use that device as part of your MOD). Select the MOD, and in the right panel you can select the devices you’d like sound to play through. Select Create Multi-Output Device and you’ll end up with something similar. You can create this by clicking the little + button at the lower left corner. You will see I have a Multi-Output Device (MOD). You’ll need to use an OS X system utility called Audio MIDI Setup. Just type that into Spotlight (hit ⌘-Spacebar to access Spotlight quickly). Using the following method my system plays sound simultaneously through the JBL speaker and my internal speakers (or the desktop speakers I plug into my headphone port).

I have a Bluetooth speaker (the JBL Charge). There is, however, a way to play sound simultaneously through external speakers and the internal (or, the headphones-whether connected to headphones or another set of external speakers). There is no immediately obvious way to play sound through multiple devices, and no way whatsoever to play sound through headphones and the internal speakers simultaneously, or, God forbid, to direct system notifications sounds to one, and standard sound output to the other. Apple, in their wisdom (I must assume), have made the Sound preferences on OS X somewhat limited.
