The highly anticipated hero shooter, *FragPunk*, has arrived, but not without a few hiccups. Many players are reporting a frustrating audio issue—no sound during matches. This is a major problem in a game where spatial awareness is crucial. Luckily, there are fixes!

While the console release is delayed, PC players can still jump in, but the silence is deafening for some. The good news is that the community has already found solutions, courtesy of Reddit user Even_Significance581.

Fixing *FragPunk*'s Audio Issues

These solutions involve tweaking your PC's audio settings and *FragPunk*'s permissions. Let's dive in:

Method 1: Disabling Exclusive Mode

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 speaker or headphones.
5. Choose "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.

Method 2: Running *FragPunk* as Administrator

1. Right-click the *FragPunk* shortcut.
2. Select "Properties."
3. Go to the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Check "Run this program as an administrator."
5. Click "Apply," then "OK."
6. Relaunch *FragPunk* to see if the audio is working.

This grants *FragPunk* full system access, improving compatibility. If the problem persists after trying both methods, check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure they are set to default. If the issue remains, it points to a problem with the game itself, not your PC.

That's it! Hopefully, these steps have brought the sound back to *FragPunk*. For further optimization, check out our guide to the best settings and crosshair codes.
