Thank you for your quick response.

No there is nothing else other than the defaults which appears to be the content from DW.

Here is a full list of what's in there:

EDIT: I just had more time on my hand and I added a second radio channel as a mod to try whether multi-channel makes a difference. Found an old one sitting on my nas called 'Radio Paris French Music Full Version 1.2'. I added it in, discovered Previous/Next Channel button is not doing its job.
Closed the game down, modified the .ini file and changed the channels around so Paris became 1st frequency and top-of-file radio channel. Washington became 2nd (and last) channel.
Radio now starts with Paris (mouse hover on radio logo at top left corner of radio icon) shows it is the "Paris channel" that's supposed to be playing but as usual there is no sound coming out of it.
I checked my settings, radio is checked (as in enabled) and its volume is set to max (most right). I will do further testing as radio channels is a big part of immersion for me. Hopefully will get to the bottom of this.

Test #1: I started from scratch with sh4 (Stock_game_installation_patched_with_U-Boat_Missions_Addon).
Result #1: American side radio OK & German side radio OK (OK means radio channel 'Washington' is playing music fine) -- confirms my starting point is not faulty/broken.

Test #2: Then I copied in Dark Waters v.6.7 (file hash values below) but this time rather than copy-in-everything as one would normally do, I excluded 'OM_DarkWaters_V6\Data\Sound\Radio' directory (and its children) completely.
Result #2: I still got the DW's modified-radio-icon and it didn't play anything.

Test #3: Copied in remaining Radio directory (and its children) making this a proper DW v.6.7 installation [which is what I was asking about in my original post].
Result #3: As expected, same input thus same output - DW's modified-radio-icon is there but default radio Washington is not playing anything (I was just triple checking a new DW-mod-install here in case I had a corrupt one etc.)

Test #4: Started again from scratch with sh4 (Stock_game_installation_patched_with_U-Boat_Missions_Addon) and copied in & activated OM with: OpsMonsun_V705 + OMv705_to_V720 + OMv720_Patch5.
Result #4: Test Result: Radio icon is back to default and radio Washington is playing fine.
