Hey, mate!
And yes, I had music set to 0 (zero) since day 1 (june 28th - Champions Edition) and although having those under the 'Music' audio group is not exactly smart (it should be under 'Speech', right?!), I've just did as you suggested and turned the music volume to 10 and.. it still did NOT work - no audio at all for the Radio Victory Calls..
Funny thing is is that it was working just fine right after that initial release, on june 28th and then after the very first patch after that release (I don't remember the exact date and/or the exact number of that patch, but I guess it was 1.04 or 1.05) it stopped working - so it IS something on one of those patches that screwed it up for me.
And yes, I already did a file integrity check (twice) and even actually uninstalled and reinstalled the game from scratch and still nothing.
Also, super weird that the only piece of audio that doesn't work for me is that particular one - ALL the other audio in the game works just fine - also the fact that I use my mic to talk to Marc shows that the problem is not on my own audio devices, which works just fine for me on my PC on all the other programs as well..
Last but not least..
I remember there was a similar issue last year with one of the patches on F1 2021 and it caused only the radio victory calls to stop working - but it was actually addressed by the devs and fixed on the following patch - so I can only assume a similar issue is happening now and it needs to be fixed as well - although last year it seemed to affect more people and this time it's affecting only me and maybe a few more people here and there..
@SexyBrigadeiroIn Audio Settings if Radio Verbosity is set to Critical or Response Only then it won't play the victory radio calls, even when trying to preview them in the shop. Set it to Everything or Reduced if you want to hear them but then you have to put up with Marc telling you that you only have 5 laps of fuel remaining when you're on the final lap of the race... Not sure why it's tied to that setting, it seems like a bug but I haven't bothered to report it.
That's the issue from my experience anyway, I assume it's the same for you.
I've given up with MyTeam.....
I know A.I Straight line speed and higher end gears has been fixed, but the MyTeam car gets out accelerated by everyone (including teammate) and handles like a tank.
Driver career doesn't have these issues?
Why do I get a .500 sec time penalty for trying to improve my weekly online event qualifying time. That makes no sense at all.

I think it's worked this way for years? I don't think it's anything to do with the 1.09 patch.
Somebody who gets a top time on their first attempt has done better than someone who needs multiple goes to achieve the same. The former therefor gets more points than the latter. Perhaps your objection is that this is done via the mechanic of a time penalty? There is also a logic of the matchmaking putting drivers in lobbies with others of a similar standard, and again, someone who is faster on a single attempt has done better and the time penalty approach recognises this.
