Is there a way to set OBS record audio from a specific application?

It can't on its own, but it can be done using a virtual audio cable (or VAC for short).
I am writing this post, assuming you are using Windows.
In short, this is how it's done:
1. First install VB-cable
2. Press the Windows button and search for "Sound Settings"
3. Scroll down and click "App volume and device preferences"
4. Look for the game you want to record the audio to and set the output to "CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)"
5. Looks for OBS in this list and change its input from Default to "CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)"
EDIT: 6. And add the step @ramavadescribed below, where you choose the "listen to this device" option. Thanks for the correction, to add this step!
Now OBS will only record audio passed through this virtual audio cable, which is the game (and anything else you choose to set to the VB-Audio output).
