How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived, but not without a few hiccups. While PC players are enjoying the action, some are facing a frustrating issue: no audio. This makes the experience far less enjoyable, especially in a game where sound is crucial for gameplay. Fortunately, there are a couple of fixes you can try.

Reddit user Even_Significance581 has shared two effective solutions, both involving a quick trip to your system settings. Let's dive in:

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" and 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 potential solution:

Running FragPunk as Administrator

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

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

*FragPunk* is currently available on PC, with PlayStation and Xbox releases planned for a later date.
