How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived, but not without a few hiccups. Many players are reporting a frustrating audio issue—no sound during gameplay. This is a major problem in a game where sound cues are crucial for survival. Fortunately, there are a couple of fixes you can try.

While the console release is delayed, PC players are already experiencing the fast-paced action, but the lack of audio is a significant setback. Luckily, the community has already found some solutions.

Reddit user Even_Significance581 offers two potential fixes, both involving tweaking your system settings:

Disabling Exclusive Mode for FragPunk

1. Right-click the speaker icon in your PC's system tray.
2. Select "Sound settings."
3. Navigate to the "Advanced" section and click "More sound settings."
4. Right-click your speakers or headphones.
5. Choose "Properties," then go to the "Advanced" tab.
6. Uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device."
7. Click "Apply," then "OK."
8. Relaunch *FragPunk* and check if the audio is restored.

If this doesn't work, there's another option:

Running FragPunk as Administrator

1. Right-click the *FragPunk* shortcut.
2. Select "Properties."
3. Go to the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Check "Run this program as an administrator."

This grants *FragPunk* full system access, potentially resolving the audio issue. If problems persist after trying both methods, check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure everything is set to default. If the issue remains, it likely points to a problem with the game itself, requiring a fix from the developers, Bad Guitar Studio.
