MacBook Pro 14 inch - problem with driving high impedance headphones

[mrxiatix]

Hi,
My problem is a quite strange one... I have a pair of 80 ohm dt770pros which I use basically all day with my MacBook Pro. In order to put a systemwide equalizer on the Mac, ,I use BlackHole paired with Hosting AU, where I use the AUNbandEQ. Here is where my problems begin. If as audio output I use 'external headphones' the sound of the headphones is perfectly fine, since the Mac recognises the impedance of and delivers enough power to drive them, however when I pass the audio through BlackHole, the headphones don't get enough power and they sound empty and not loud enough. How can this be solved?

Is the volume all the way up on BlackHole? Devin
