Whenever a thrilling new game hits the market, players are eager to dive in and experience it. However, sometimes issues arise that can hinder the fun. If you're facing audio problems in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, don't worry—we've got you covered with some effective solutions.
What to Do If There Is No Sound in FragPunk
While players on both console and PC were excited to dive into Bad Guitar Studio's latest multiplayer title, the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game were delayed upon its PC launch. This has been frustrating for many, but PC players can still load the game and explore the various Lancers. However, a significant issue has emerged: some gamers are experiencing a complete lack of audio during matches. In hero shooters like *FragPunk*, sound is crucial for understanding what's happening around the map, making this issue particularly debilitating. Fortunately, the gaming community has been proactive in finding solutions.
On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective solutions, both of which involve adjusting your settings. Here's the first method to resolve the audio not working in *FragPunk*:
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 navigate to the "Advanced" section.
- Untoggle the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" setting and click "Apply," then "OK."
Once you've completed these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* to check if the audio has returned. If it hasn't, there's another solution 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."
This method grants *FragPunk* full system access, which can help smooth out performance issues. However, if the audio problems persist, head to the game's audio settings and ensure everything is set to default. This step helps determine if the issue is with the game itself rather than your PC's settings. If the problem continues, it's likely an issue that Bad Guitar Studio will need to address.
