How To Fix FragPunk Audio Not Working

The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived on PC, but some players are facing a frustrating issue: no audio. This makes the game nearly unplayable, as sound cues are crucial in a fast-paced title like this. Fortunately, there are solutions!

While the console release is delayed, PC players can jump in and experience *FragPunk*'s unique Lancers. But the lack of audio is a significant problem. Thankfully, Reddit user Even_Significance581 has 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. Select "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 next method.

How to Run FragPunk as Administrator

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

Running as administrator 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.

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