The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived on PC, but some players are experiencing a frustrating audio issue—no sound! This makes gameplay nearly impossible in a game where audio cues are crucial. Thankfully, there are a couple of fixes you can try.
While the console release is delayed, PC players are already exploring the game's Lancers and encountering this audio bug. Reddit user Even_Significance581 shared two solutions, both involving a tweak to your system settings:
Disabling Exclusive Mode for FragPunk
- Right-click the speaker icon in your PC's system tray.
- Select "Sound settings".
- Navigate to the "Advanced" section and click "More sound settings".
- Right-click your speakers or headphones.
- Choose "Properties" and go to the "Advanced" tab.
- Uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".
- Click "Apply", then "OK".
- Relaunch *FragPunk* to see if the audio is restored.
If that doesn't work, there's another option:
Running FragPunk as Administrator
- Right-click the *FragPunk* shortcut.
- Select "Properties".
- Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
- Check "Run this program as an administrator".
This grants *FragPunk* full system access, potentially resolving the issue. If problems persist after trying both methods, double-check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure everything is set to default. This helps determine if the problem lies within the game itself or your PC configuration. If the issue persists after this, contact Bad Guitar Studio for support.
