Hi Alex,
I just tested this with my MacBook Air, with both a set of earpods and bose speakers and the VO utility only displayed "system output" or "built-in output." Both seemed to routte to the headset or speakers, unfortunately. I don't know if there's a work around, but that's what I experienced.

I think you can, though I have a Mac Mini and not a Macbook so may be wrong. Either way, open up the VO utility and select Sound. Go to the "output device" popup button and choose the device you want to use. The default will be "system output", which means that VO will use whatever device the Mac is set to use in System Preferences. The menu will also contain all sound output devices, and you should see something like "headphones" and "internal audio" or "internal speakers". Choose the latter and VO will go through your internal speakers instead of whatever is connected to your headphones. Again, I don't have a Macbook right here to try this on, so I might be completely wrong.

I'd like to have voiceover continue to play through my laptop speakers, and other sound like audio from the web, and computer audio play through these external speakers. Is that possible?
