My goal is to record my screen with internal audio, but leaving out external audio. I tried solutions with Soundflower software, and it works for the first part.
I cannot mute my external audio. Do you have any suggestions?

I have a similar need when recording Skype calls. My setup is somewhat different, but the fundamentals should work for your setup. Best of all, you can do it without buying any specialized applications. Rogue Amoeba has a great application called Line In that will allow you to pipe your system's inputs to whatever outputs you are available, including Soundflower.
Go to System Preferences -> Sound:
- Select internal mic as your input if that's what you want to use as your second device. Your output is probably headphones if you're recording. Select that.
Start Soundflower.
- Click the menu bar icon. Select Audio Setup from the bottom of the popup menu
- Click the menu bar icon. Select Audio Setup from the bottom of the popup menu
This will bring up the Audio MIDI setup application. From here, you'll create an "Aggregate Device," which is accomplished by clicking the
+icon in the lower-lefthand corner.- I've attached a screenshot so you can see how what the Aggregate Device I've setup here looks like. Your USB input should show up in this menu - add it as an input, along with your internal mic. Don't sweat the output part (that's in the next step).
- Please note that the settings in this screenshot are not meant to be representative of how you should configure this on your machine, and are just for a visual cue.
Start Line In:
- Set your input as the Aggregate Device you created, and pass that as output to Soundflower (2 Ch). When you're recording, you can select "pass thru," which will allow you to monitor the audio. Nice.
- Set your input as the Aggregate Device you created, and pass that as output to Soundflower (2 Ch). When you're recording, you can select "pass thru," which will allow you to monitor the audio. Nice.
Finally, fire up Audacity, and make sure Soundflower is selected as the input. This should create a chain that ultimately pipes your inputs into Audacity.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
You don't need any third-party service; This feature is built right into QuickTime. So just connect your iPhone to your Mac, open QuickTime, click on File > New Movie Recording (CommandOptionN), and it will show your iPhone screen. But in order to record it's audio too, click the little downward arrow next to the record button, and under "Microphone" choose "(your name)'s iPhone" (by the way if it doesn't show you your iPhone's screen make sure to select your iPhone under "Camera" too, though it should be selected by default). Then just hit record and it should do the trick.

There is a shareware/free software designed specifically for this task called BlackHole which I use on a weekly basis. Here is the developer's website and here is his project on GitHub.
