Why Can’t I Hear My Gunshots in Fortnite? Let’s Troubleshoot!
Last updated
Ever been deep into a Fortnite session, aiming for that Victory Royale, and suddenly realized you can’t hear your gunshots? That’s a real game-changer, and not in a good way. You’re probably wondering why this is happening, right?
Let’s dive into why you might not be hearing those essential in-game sounds like gunshots and what you can do to fix it.
Quick Fixes for Silent Gunshots
Most of the time, the issue is something simple. First, check your game’s audio settings. Make sure the sound effects volume is turned up. Sometimes, these settings can get accidentally adjusted.
Next, check your device’s audio settings or connections. If you’re playing on a console, make sure your TV or headset is properly connected. For PC gamers, double-check that your speakers or headset are selected as the default audio device.
