Troubleshooting No Sound in FragPunk

While excitement built across platforms for Bad Guitar Studio's new multiplayer title, PlayStation and Xbox players faced delays after the PC launch. PC gamers could still dive in and learn the roster of Lancers, but many encountered a critical gameplay issue.
A persistent audio bug in FragPunk silences matches entirely - a game-breaking problem for a hero shooter where environmental sounds provide crucial tactical information. Fortunately, the community quickly identified potential solutions.
Reddit user Even_Significance581 shared two effective fixes, both involving system settings adjustments:
Disabling Exclusive Audio Mode for FragPunk
- Right-click your speaker icon
- Select Sound Settings
- Go to Advanced > More sound settings
- Right-click your audio device
- Choose Properties > Advanced tab
- Disable "Allow applications exclusive control"
- Apply changes and restart game
If audio remains silent, try this alternative method:
Running FragPunk as Administrator
- Right-click the game shortcut
- Select Properties
- Navigate to Compatibility tab
- Check "Run as administrator"
For persistent audio issues, reset all in-game sound settings to default. If problems continue, the issue likely requires developer attention.

FragPunk is currently available on PC with console versions coming soon.
