The only way that you will get around this is to swap out to a windows device or, as you have been doing - running the audio through speakers which was done before the share system audio functionality was introduced. However, results may vary. In terms of timescale, there is no clear timescale. Voting for the uservoice will keep you updated but it is known that Microsoft are prioritising high demand features such as raise voice, seeing all users in a meeting and custom backgrounds currently. It may take some time to come in - so I would recommend trying to get your organisation to provide you with a windows device for this functionality now in order to support you with it
Hope that answers your question
