How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

When a thrilling new game like *FragPunk* hits the market, players are eager to jump in and experience the excitement. However, occasional technical issues can hinder this enthusiasm. If you're facing the problem of no audio in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, don't worry—this guide will help you resolve it.

While console and PC gamers were excited to dive into Bad Guitar Studio's latest multiplayer title, the PlayStation and Xbox versions faced a delay right after the PC launch. This has been frustrating for many, but PC players can still load up the game and get familiar with the diverse Lancers. Unfortunately, several players have encountered a major issue: no audio during matches. This problem can make the game nearly unplayable, as sound is crucial in hero shooters like *FragPunk*, where auditory cues are essential for gameplay. Thankfully, the gaming community has been proactive in finding solutions.

On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective solutions that both involve tweaking settings. Here’s the first method to fix 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 go to the "Advanced" section.
• Untoggle the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" setting and click "Apply," then "OK."

After completing these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* to check if the audio has returned. If it hasn't, there's another solution to try:

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 can help the game run more smoothly. Although it isn't a guaranteed fix, if the audio issues persist, the next step is to check the in-game audio settings and ensure they are set to default. This will help determine if the issue is with the game itself rather than your PC's settings. If that's the case, it will be up to Bad Guitar Studio to address the problem.
