Preface: I'm on my phone while driving so I haven't read this entire thread yet. Please forgive me.

Is there a way to exclude discord while I'm recording my games? I figured out how to exclude it from recording my mic (that was easy). I want OBS to record just audio and video of the gameplay.

Yes, you use Voicemeeter as your default playback device. Game sound goes there, and you let OBS record Voicemeeter.
In Discord you set the output to your Headset/Speakers and finally in Voicemeeter you activate the output to your Headset/Speakers, so you can hear them both.

It's not exactly true that you cannot separate audio sources that lack options for setting their audio output device. It's not a convenient process, but there is a workaround.

If you have iTunes for instance, you can't choose your playback device. However, you can set up Voicemeeter as your default device in Windows, then switch the Windows default to your headphones, open iTunes, then switch the Windows default device back to Voicemeeter. iTunes will have recognized your headphones as the default playback device, allowing you to bypass Voicemeeter and exclude it from your stream.

For those of you who use Chrome I found this neat extension that works well to select different source for browser audio

Audio Pick

You do have to refresh your browser for it to work right, but so far good results. Not sure on Firefox, cause I dont use that browser.

The stereomix forwards the sound to the front port where you mix in TeamSpeak/Mumble. From your explanation you got that working. Now in OBS you just select the Microphone for Auxillary/Mic input, TS/Mumble will use the same. And thats about it.
Double check that listen to is only active on the stereomix, and the correct device is selected in the dropdown. No other recording device should have listen to active

It seems like a picture is missing from the Voicemeeter guide, I definitely can't set it up to exclude Spotify without that missing piece of info...
Does anyone here know how to do it?
