Audio output thru computer speakers and audio interface

I'd like to be able to use my iMac speakers and audio interface outputs ...simultaneously.
Will this work or does it have something to do with feedback protection? Is there a way to turn it off in Ableton or in the OS?

there's a couple of ways you can go about it.
one is to create an aggregate audio device:

another is to create a multi-output device, which is a similar procedure to the above.
note that cobbling interfaces together can work but is also more fragile, and sometimes there are clocking issues. not advisable for live work...

You might be able to route this up using Soundflower bed if you're on OS X. I'm not at my computer so I can't try but if the other suggestion doesn't work I would recommend checking it out. It's useful for a lot of other stuff as well. Especially sampling.
