How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived, but not without a hitch. Many players are experiencing frustrating audio issues, rendering the game nearly unplayable. The lack of in-game sound, crucial for a title reliant on auditory cues, significantly impacts gameplay. Fortunately, the community has already uncovered some effective solutions.

While the console release has been delayed, PC players are diving into *FragPunk*'s unique Lancer gameplay. However, the absence of audio is a significant problem. Reddit user Even_Significance581 offers two potential fixes, both involving adjustments 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, there's another method to try:

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. If the problem persists after trying both methods, ensure your in-game audio settings are at their defaults. This helps determine if the issue stems from the game itself or your PC configuration. If it's the former, contacting Bad Guitar Studio for support is the next step.
