1️⃣ Download the free Soundflower audio router: rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower

*If you are using Mac OS Mojave or later, you'll need to use this workaround to use Soundflower, since it is only supported up to Mac OS High Sierra: fluxforge.com/blog/soundflower-os-x-10.11-10.12…

*Alternatively, you can buy the $99 Loopback app which does exactly what Soundflower does, but I'd rather you save the money! But if you prefer: rogueamoeba.com/loopback

2️⃣ Buy & Download Audio Hijack app: rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack

3️⃣ Turn both Audio Hijack and Soundflower on while recording / streaming for your audio to pass through to your viewers. While in OBS or Streamlabs OBS, all DAW audio will show up as "Desktop Audio". If you have headphones plugged into your audio interface, you will be able to hear both your microphone & CPU audio.
