JACK and Bitwig using the the Intel audio chip. Tested on MacBook Pro 11,3. I get no sound using Alsa and Bitwig with the Intel chip (it works with USB interfaces), so I tried using JACK and it worked. However I had to follow these steps.
  1. Open qjackctl
  2. Click Setup...
  3. Choose "alsa" as the Driver
  4. Choose the analog interface as the Interface (in my case it is hw:PCH,0)
  5. Go to the Advanced tab
  6. Enter the number of inputs in the first textbox next to Channels I/O (2 in my case)
  7. Enter the number of outputs in the second textbox next to Channels I/O (2 in my case)
  8. Click OK
  9. Click Start
  10. Start Bitwig and select "JACK" as the Driver model

No need to stop pulseaudio.
