Facetime on iPad not Ringing

My volume is turned up, it's not on mute, alarms and other things that make noise work, it's not set to "do not disturb" or anything like that. If I happen to have the iPad open when a Facetime call arrives I can see it, but it's silent and not ringing. Facetime works fine except if somebody calls me it won't ring. If I happen to see the call coming in I can answer and we are set to go but it doesn't ring even though I have both the Alert and Notification set to have a tone.


iPad, iPadOS 14

I was able to get Facetime to "ring". I had completed and checked all those items under Settings and it still didn't work. However when I "pulled" down the options from the top right corner I saw that it was muted there. All is working now. Thanks for your help.
