How to Record Game Audio Only in OBS Studio

In this tutorial, I show you how to record game audio only in OBS Studio. The easiest way to only have game audio in OBS is to mute other audio devices and add your game as an application audio source. This will allow you to have your game audio in OBS Studio without other sounds being picked up. To ensure you only record game audio you will want to open the advanced audio properties and place the application audio capture source on the track you're recording. Provided that you have muted your other audio devices you won't need to remove audio devices from your recording track.

I'm on the newest version of OBS and the Application Audio Capture option does not exist, and never has in any of the versions I've used over the years.
