I have played around with this some more, and I still struggle to make it do what I want it to do in and of itself.
I would like to be able to transmit all audio from my computer, while also being able to speak to my friends (while they hear my audio, but without me monitoring my mic) on Discord or while streaming on Twitch. It seems Discord only registers my mic if it’s in Mic/Hi-z 1 or 2. If I plug my mic into input 5, for instance, I “see” the meter register sound in dspMixFx, but it doesn’t come through to Discord or OBS. Same goes for any other mic or instrument plugged into anything other then input 1 and 2. Every input, instrument and so forth works fine in Reaper (my DAW of choice).
HOWEVER, I seem to have found a solution through using VoiceMeeter Banana. This allows me to send my signals where I want them to go and after some fiddling around with it, I got it set up to do the things I have mentioned here in this thread.
