FragPunk is a 5v5 hero shooter that launches players into a roster of different modes, where they can change the rules of each game with Shard Cards, wield an arsenal of different weapons, and choose from a wide range of Lancers, each with their own unique skills and abilities.

While players looking to improve may focus on selecting the best Lancers or weapons, in-game settings also play a crucial role—especially audio settings. From tracking enemy footsteps to ensuring a balance between various in-game sounds, optimized audio settings can be key to improving a player's performance. Here is a guide on the best audio settings in FragPunk, along with solutions for common audio-related issues.

How To Fix Audio Issues In FragPunk

FragPunk's official temporary audio fix

FragPunk players may currently be experiencing numerous audio-related issues, such as the game suddenly having no audio at all or certain sound effects appearing to be muted. While the developers behind FragPunk are actively working on fixes to these issues, they have suggested a temporary workaround via the Mailbox in-game.

If players encounter audio-related issues, they can try toggling the "Keep Playing Audio in the Background" or "Voice Output Devices" options within the Audio Settings to resolve the problem.

Verify Integrity Of Game Files

how to Verify Integrity Of Game Files for FragPunk

While toggling the game's audio settings may resolve audio issues, another potential solution for players on Steam is verifying the integrity of game files. To do this, open Steam and navigate to FragPunk. Next, open Settings, go to the Installed Files tab, and select "Verify the integrity of game files."

Once selected, allow Steam to validate the in-game files. When the process is complete, players should restart their devices, which may resolve any lingering audio issues.

Change Application Audio Device Preference

Another fix that Windows users can try is changing the application audio device preference for FragPunk. To do this, open Sound Settings on Windows and navigate to App Volume and Device Preferences.

Here, next to FragPunk, players will see that their output device is usually set to default, but if they are experiencing audio issues, they can click the drop-down menu and select the audio device they are currently using. Once done, restart the device.

There shouldn't be an issue if players already have their default output device set correctly, but some users have reported that this method resolves the problem for them regardless of whether their default device is set up correctly or not.

If none of these methods fix the issue, users can uninstall and reinstall the game as a last resort. It is not an ideal fix, but some users have reported that this fixes audio-related problems.
