OBS is not picking up the game's audio. What should I do?

Recent releases of OBS seem to struggle with recording sound data from the MRC plugin, even if it shows up in the audio mixer. If you'd prefer not to use an older version of OBS Studio, follow this guide for a workaround.

Mirroring the audio

In OBS Studio, open the settings menu and click on the Audio tab. Click on the 'Monitoring Device' checkbox and set it to your preferred audio device.

Note: This setting will output OBS's captured audio to the selected device. If possible, set this to an audio device that you're not currently using.

Once you've applied those settings, return to the main window. In the audio mixer, right click on 'Oculus MRC' and select 'Advanced Audio Properties'.

Change the Audio Monitoring setting to 'Monitor Only'. This will redirect the sound data to the audio device you selected earlier.

Re-capturing the audio

So you've mirrored the game's audio to another device. Now we'll need to capture it. Again.

Create a new source via the + icon and select 'Audio Output Capture'.

Select an audio device via the dropdown box. Remember to select the one you mirrored earlier!

That's about it. As I'm sure you can tell, this method is extremely hacky. More importantly, it works.
