How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, FragPunk, has arrived on PC, bringing exciting multiplayer action. However, some players are experiencing a frustrating audio issue—no sound during matches. This can significantly impact gameplay, as audio cues are crucial in a game like FragPunk. Fortunately, the community has already discovered some effective solutions.

While the console releases were delayed, PC players can still jump into the action, but this audio bug is a major roadblock. Reddit user Even_Significance581 shared two potential fixes, both involving tweaking your system settings.

How to Disable 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 method to try:

How to Run 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."

Running FragPunk as administrator grants it 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. This helps determine if the issue stems from the game itself or your PC configuration. If the problem remains after this, contacting Bad Guitar Studio for support is recommended.
