It was vastly overdue, but macOS shipped a native solution for screen recording with audio in macOS 12 and you no longer need BlackHole for that. BH is still useful for more advanced uses, but they're mostly the sort of thing where it's not jarringly weird that they require some third-party software.

Last time I checked QuickTime was still not able to. Did I miss something?

I checked and seems to be just Microphone (or other audio) input w/ QuickTime when recording sceengrab videos or recording just audio.

This is correct. And if you use a headset it won't pick up the general system sounds. Used it for an IEP call last week and found out afterwards the only audio it picked up was my own. Pretty frustrating.

yah, I just recently made the purchase for BlackHole because I couldn't get the system sounds otherwise. Great little project!

I really could have sworn that around 2017 there was a way to do this built in, but it went away pretty quickly. Or I just imagined that
