"Find My" sound not playing on watch

Hello, my watch is not on mute, the sound is rather loud when a phone call or message comes in. But when I use the "Find my" app, select the watch and click "play sound", it shows as "now playing" in the app, but the watch remains silent. I've seen others describe this problem but I have not seen a usable solution. All the sound settings on the watch are on.

I'd also like to know if it's possible to play the "Find my" sound when the watch is on mute, because I probably won't remember to unmute it before I misplace it. I don't want my watch to make any noise, only when I want to locate it with the "Find my" app.

Suggestions welcome.
