After updating to iOS 15 I no longer receive email notification sounds

I updated iPhone XR to iOS 15. Now I do not receive email notification sounds. My text message notification sounds work properly. Is this a bug with the update? This is also happening on iPad Pro.

I have my notifications turned on correctly.

I think I have Focus turned off. I do not want to use Focus.

I have re booted my phone and also deleted then re installed my email app.

I receive emails properly but no audible notification of new mail.

I receive other app audible notifications properly.

I've read that other people are having this same issue.

Is this something that will be addressed in an iOS 15 update?

Thank you
