setRadioChannel not working most of the time

[rxyyy]

Describe the bug

setRadioChannel doesn't work correctly most of the time. In my use case, I set the radio for my server's welcome screen to SF-UR - sometimes the function works and the radio plays as expected, sometimes it plays for a few milliseconds and then stops. There are no other scripts on my server which use setRadioChannel.

Steps to reproduce

1. Optionally use the workaround mentioned on the wiki page for setRadioChannel - setting the channel to 0 outside of any function before setting it to a radio station.
2. Use setRadioChannel from any script to set the radio station. In my use case, I'm changing it to 5 - SF-UR.
3. Observe that more than 50% of the time the radio will play for a few milliseconds and then stop.
