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 significant problem in a game where audio cues are crucial for gameplay. Fortunately, there are solutions!

While the console versions are experiencing delays, PC players can still jump into the action—provided they can hear it. Thanks to the resourceful *FragPunk* community, we have two potential fixes to try:

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 speakers 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, there's another option:

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."

This grants *FragPunk* full system access, potentially resolving the issue. However, if problems persist after trying both methods, double-check *FragPunk*'s in-game audio settings to ensure everything is set to default. If the issue remains, it likely points to a problem on the game's side, not your PC's.

That's it! Hopefully, these steps restore your audio in *FragPunk*. For further optimization, check out The Escapist's guide to the best settings and crosshair codes. You can also learn about the voice actors behind *FragPunk*.

*FragPunk* is currently available on PC, with PlayStation and Xbox releases planned for a later date.
