text tone not working

My text tones no longer work and I can't figure out why. I've been in the settings, and either I'm missing something obvious or there's something wrong with the phone. The ring tones work fine. I have an iPhone X.

Have you enabled "Deliver Quietly" for messages?

Thank you for the reply, this is helpful information. I was able to enable my text tones but I think it was through an update of the notification settings for messages. When I was having the problem, I was updating the alert tones (e.g., from circles to complete), and expected to hear the sound of the alert but would only feel the vibration tone I had set (but no sound). I'm not sure what changed, but now I do hear the text tones and when I change the alert tones I hear the sounds. Thanks again.
