Two AirPods
How to connect two AirPods to one Mac.
Yes, a Mac can play to two pairs at once, or to any two Bluetooth headphones. Two ways to set it up, and what to do when the second pair won’t connect.

Headphones and speakers
Headphones and speakers at the same time.
AirPods with a speaker, Bluetooth headphones with the built-in speakers, or an HDMI or DisplayPort TV with headphones.

Multiple outputs
Multiple audio outputs with a Multi-Output Device.
Create one in Audio MIDI Setup step by step, fix what goes wrong, remove it, or skip it with Quwire.

Volume
Why a Multi-Output Device has no volume control.
macOS gives a combined output no volume of its own. Set each output in Audio MIDI Setup, or use Quwire’s sliders and shortcuts.
