How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived on PC, but some players are experiencing a frustrating audio issue—no sound! This makes enjoying the fast-paced action nearly impossible, as audio cues are crucial in *FragPunk*. Fortunately, there are a couple of fixes you can try.

While the console releases were delayed, PC players can still jump into the fray and master the various Lancers. But the silence is deafening for those encountering this audio bug. Luckily, the community has already discovered solutions.

Reddit user Even_Significance581 offered two helpful methods, both involving a quick trip to 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 speaker 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 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 issue. However, if the problem persists after trying both methods, check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure everything is set to default. This helps determine if the issue lies within the game itself or your PC's configuration. If it's the game, it's time to contact Bad Guitar Studio for support.

That's it! Hopefully, one of these solutions will bring the sound back to your *FragPunk* experience.

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