No Mail Audio Notifications

I was using the BigSur beta and thought it was a bug that there were no audio notifications in Mail. But I recently wiped my system and reinstalled the latest version (not beta) of Big Sur and I still don't have any audio notifications. It this a bug? It's sort of annoying not to be able to get any sound when an email comes in. I get the outgoing mail sound sounds, but no incoming. It looks like no matter what you have notifications set to for mail, nothing is being displayed.

Same problem on my Macbook Pro M1 received yesterday and updated to 11.4. No banner and no sound even if notifications settings are correctly set from preferences.

For now, the only workaround is to change notification style settings from "banners" (that do not work properly) to "alerts" and then switch off and turn on again the mail notifications.

Notifications work fine on other apps (the issue is located only in the Mail App).

Another possible solution is to use another app until new updates will be released.
