Whenever an exciting new game hits the market, players are eager to jump right in and explore everything it has to offer. However, occasional technical issues can hinder that experience. If you're facing the frustrating problem of audio not working in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, don't worry—we've got you covered with solutions to get your game sounding great again.
What To Do If There Is No Sound in FragPunk
While *FragPunk* by Bad Guitar Studio has been a hit among PC players, console enthusiasts have had to wait longer due to delays. As PC gamers dive into the world of Lancers, a significant issue has emerged: no audio during matches. This problem is particularly disruptive in a game like *FragPunk*, where sound cues are crucial for gameplay. Fortunately, the community has come up with effective fixes.
On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two straightforward solutions to resolve the audio issue in *FragPunk*, both requiring adjustments in your settings.
How To Disable Exclusive Mode for FragPunk
- Right-click the speaker icon on your PC.
- Click on "Sound Settings".
- Navigate to the "Advanced" section and click "More sound settings".
- Right-click on either the speaker or headphones.
- Click "Properties" and go to the "Advanced" section.
- Untoggle the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" setting, then click "Apply" and "OK".
After completing these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* to see if the audio issue is resolved. If the problem persists, there's another method you can try.
How To Run FragPunk as Administrator
- Right-click on the *FragPunk* shortcut.
- Click on "Properties" and navigate to the "Compatibility" section.
- Select "Run as Administrator".
Running the game with administrator privileges gives it full system access, which can enhance performance. However, this isn't a guaranteed fix. If audio issues continue, check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure they're at default. This step helps confirm whether the issue stems from the game itself or your PC's settings. If it's the former, it's time for Bad Guitar Studio to step in.
