How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, FragPunk, has arrived on PC, but some players are experiencing a frustrating issue: no audio. This makes the already challenging gameplay nearly impossible, as sound cues are crucial in this type of game. Luckily, there are a couple of fixes that have proven successful.

While the console release was delayed, PC players are already exploring the game's unique Lancers. The absence of audio is a significant problem, but thankfully, the community has found solutions. Reddit user Even_Significance581 offers two methods, both involving a 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 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, try the second method:

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.
