I have the sound set on messages in settings and also vibrate, however each time a text is received there is no sound. The volume is set on high. What am I missing?

iPhone XR, iOS 12

iphone 11 not playing alert sound nor vibrating when texts are received My wife's iphone 11 does not play a sound when a text message is received. All settings show that for "messages" that sound is on for that ap, and that "silent mode" is off. It doesn't "vibrate" either, and that setting is on for both regular and silent modes. There's a small icon next to the messages that has a speaker with a line through it, but have no idea what it is or why it's there. Anyhow, need to get the sound and vibration working again -- any suggestions? Thanks

No sound when a text comes to my IPhones I have done all the solutions from a year ago and my text messages still don’t ding when a message comes in. Are there other solutions I should try?
