Fix FragPunk Audio Issues: Quick Solutions

The arrival of a thrilling new game often prompts players to switch gears and dive right in. However, issues can sometimes prevent this excitement from unfolding smoothly. If you're experiencing audio problems in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, here's how you can resolve them and get back to enjoying the game.

What To Do If There Is No Sound in FragPunk

While players eagerly anticipated diving into Bad Guitar Studio’s latest multiplayer title on both console and PC, the PlayStation and Xbox versions faced delays right after the PC launch. This has been a source of frustration for many, but PC players can still jump in and explore the diverse Lancers. However, a significant issue has emerged for some: the absence of audio during matches. In a game like *FragPunk*, where sound cues are crucial for gameplay, this can make the experience nearly unplayable. Fortunately, the gaming community has stepped up to offer solutions.

On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective methods to address the audio issue, both requiring adjustments in the settings. Let's explore these solutions:

How To Disable Exclusive Mode for FragPunk

• Right-click the speaker icon on your PC.
• Click "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."

After completing these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* to check if the audio has been restored. If the problem persists, there's another approach you can 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 resolve the audio issues. Although it sounds intimidating, it's generally safe and can improve performance. If the problem continues, check the in-game audio settings to ensure they are set to default. This step will help determine if the issue stems from the game itself, rather than your PC's configuration. At that point, it would be up to Bad Guitar Studio to address the problem.

And that’s how to fix *FragPunk* audio not working. For further optimization, consider checking out The Escapist’s guide on the best settings and crosshair codes.
