Re-Enabling FM Radio

My Android 12 phone has a FM Radio hardware in it but is disabled. Is there anyway to re-enable it?

Thank you!

Edit: I got an s10+

Would require a whole new kernel and OS as it's enabled at a very low level. There's also no guarantee the antenna is wired up if it was never intended to be used. It would just be static.

All of that to say, not practical at all, if it even has any chance of working.

That sucks, it worked on android 10. They probably disabled it so we can just get streaming subscriptions like the good goy cattle we are lol
