    • a secondary external sound card with MME/DirectX drivers as a looback input, or
    • an external sound card with ASIO drivers and you loop your audio back into your built-in computer line-input.

If your whole audio come from a microphone, it may be already automatically selected as Mic/Aux source in the Audio Mixer.

If not, you should be able to select it or any appropriate (non ASIO) audio input into the OBS Settings panel, "Audio" tab, "Mic/auxiliary Audio" device. drop-down list.

You can also click the gear near-by the Mic/Aux source in the Audio Mixer, then click Properties and select your correct or audio input in the "Device" drop-down list.
