Fix FragPunk Audio Issues: Quick Guide

Whenever an exciting new game hits the scene, players are eager to jump right in and experience the thrill. However, issues can sometimes put a damper on the fun. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to fix the audio not working issue in the hero shooter *FragPunk*.

What To Do If There Is No Sound in FragPunk

While players on both console and PC were excited to dive into Bad Guitar Studio's latest multiplayer title, the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game faced delays upon its PC launch. This has been frustrating for many, but PC players can still load the game and familiarize themselves with the various Lancers. Unfortunately, a significant number of gamers are encountering a major issue: no audio during matches. This problem can make *FragPunk* nearly unplayable, as sound is crucial in hero shooters for understanding what's happening around the map. Thankfully, the gaming community has been proactive in finding solutions.

On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective solutions, both of which involve adjusting settings. Here's the first method to tackle the audio issue in *FragPunk*:

How To Disable Exclusive Mode for FragPunk

• Right-click the speaker icon on your PC.
• Click on "Sound Settings."
• Navigate to the "Advanced" section and click "More sound settings."
• Right-click on either the speaker or headphones.
• Click "Properties" and navigate to the "Advanced" section.
• Untoggle the “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” setting and click "Apply," then "OK."

Once you've completed these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* and check if the audio has returned. If it hasn't, there's another method that might solve the problem.

How To Run FragPunk as Administrator

• Right-click on the *FragPunk* shortcut.
• Click on "Properties" and navigate to the "Compatibility" section.
• Select “Run as Administrator.”

This method grants *FragPunk* full system access, which, though it might sound intimidating, is simply a way to enhance performance. However, if audio issues persist, the next step is to check the game’s audio settings and ensure everything is set to default. This will help determine if the issue is with the game itself or something else on your PC. If it's the game, then it's up to Bad Guitar Studio to address the problem.
