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 title where audio cues are crucial. Fortunately, there are solutions. Reddit user Even_Significance581 has shared two effective methods to restore your audio experience.

While the console release of *FragPunk* has been delayed, PC players can still jump in and experience the fast-paced action. However, the lack of audio is a significant problem. Let's dive into the fixes:

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", then 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 the box "Run this program as an administrator".

Running *FragPunk* as administrator grants it full system access, potentially resolving the audio issue. If problems persist after trying both methods, ensure your in-game audio settings are at default. This helps determine if the issue lies within the game itself or your PC configuration. If it's the game, it's time to contact Bad Guitar Studio for support.
