[CRITICAL] Proximity voice chat completely broken since update 40.20

hi @Hasmatix @Gros-PRIMATE

42.20 release notes

Channel API

Use the Channel API to create custom voice and text channels and control who can communicate and when. Create new ways for players to connect and coordinate, or limit communication for dramatic effect, such as cutting a squad’s comms the moment they split up. You can also detect when players start and stop speaking to trigger tension-filled gameplay, such as alerting a guard to the player’s location.
