Whenever an exciting new game hits the market, players are eager to dive right in and experience it firsthand. However, sometimes issues can arise that prevent this from happening smoothly. If you're facing audio problems in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, don't worry—we've got you covered with solutions to get your sound back in action.
While both console and PC players were thrilled to jump into Bad Guitar Studio's latest multiplayer title, the PlayStation and Xbox versions faced a delay right at launch, leaving PC players to explore the game's unique Lancers. However, a significant issue has emerged for some PC gamers: the absence of audio during matches. In a game like *FragPunk*, where sound cues are crucial for gameplay, this can be a major setback. Fortunately, the gaming community has quickly come up with solutions to address this problem.
On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective methods to resolve the audio issue, both involving adjustments in your settings. Let's walk through the first approach:
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, restart *FragPunk* to check if the audio has been restored. 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".
This approach grants *FragPunk* full system access, which can help resolve the audio issues. While it might sound daunting, it's a common troubleshooting step. If the audio problem continues even after trying both methods, ensure that the game's audio settings are set to default. This step will help confirm whether the issue is with the game itself or something else on your PC. If the problem is indeed with the game, it's up to Bad Guitar Studio to address it.
