My partner plays a game and listens to a podcast for relaxing. In-game she turned off any sound but the constant ads every few minutes still start with sound. Is it possible to mute the game app in the Android settings?

On Samsung phones Samsung ~~Gamelauncher~~ Gaming Hub gives you the option to mute all game audio, but I'm afraid this is a Samsung exclusive feature.

Another feature I have on my Galaxy S10 is the ability to set different outputs for apps, ie. "bad sounds" from some app to phone speakers (which are muted), and the rest to my Bluetooth headphones.

On my phone this feature is called "Separate app sound" and is located in Settings > Sounds and vibration > Separate app sound. It might also be a Samsung exclusive though.

Edit: I have yet another, sadly probably Samsung exclusive, solution. Samsung Sound Assistant let's you set a different volume for each app (like Windows volume mixer).

Install AdAway through F-Droid. Blocks all ads on the phone

Not sure about other phones, but for samsung you can get "Sound Assistant" from the Galaxy Store. This will let you split the sound, app by app in the default volume menu that appears when you use the volume buttons.

This would be the perfect solution. She's on a Samsung. Thank you
