Configuring audio through multiple speakers and headphones on a Mac is a simple process, but it can be confusing if you have never done it before. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to get your audio playing on multiple devices in no time.
First, let’s start with the basics. If you want to configure audio through multiple speakers on Mac, you will need a device that is capable of outputting audio to multiple sources. This can be done through a variety of methods, such as using an audio splitter or connecting your Mac to a device that has multiple audio outputs.
If you want to configure audio through multiple headphones, the process is slightly different. In this case, you will need a device that is capable of inputting audio from multiple sources and outputting it to multiple headphones. This can be done through a device such as a headphone splitter or a device that has multiple audio inputs and outputs.

Now that you know what you need, let’s get started.
To configure audio through multiple speakers on a Mac, follow these steps:
- Connect your Mac to the device that has multiple audio outputs. This can be done through a variety of methods, such as using a USB cable, an HDMI cable, or a Bluetooth connection.
- Once your Mac is connected to the device, open the “System Preferences” app on your Mac.
- In the System Preferences app, click on the “Sound” icon.
- In the Sound preferences, click on the “Output” tab.
- From the Output tab, you will see a list of available audio outputs. Select the audio outputs that you want to use to play your audio.
- Once you have selected the audio outputs, close the System Preferences app and start playing your audio. It should now be playing through the selected audio outputs.
Same way but little bit different to configure audio through multiple headphones on Mac:
- Connect your Mac to a device with multiple audio inputs and outputs. This can be done through a USB cable, an HDMI cable, or Bluetooth.
- Open the “System Preferences” app on your Mac.
- Click on the “Sound” icon and then the “Input” tab.
- From the list of available audio inputs, select the one you want to use.
- Close the System Preferences app and start playing your audio. It should now be playing through the selected audio input and outputting to the multiple headphones.
That’s all there is to it! With the right device, you can easily share audio through multiple speakers or headphones on a Mac.
Split Audio Output To Different Outputs
- Use the audio output settings on your Mac to select the audio device you want to use for output. You can do this by going to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound > Output.
- Use an audio splitter cable to split the audio output from your Mac and send it to multiple speakers or headphones.
- Use a third-party audio software like Audacity or Soundflower to route audio output to multiple devices.
- If you want to play audio through multiple speakers wirelessly, you can use a wireless audio transmitter or a smart speaker system like Sonos or Google Home.
