After iOS 15.1 Upgrade, No Notification Sounds

Yesterday I updated my iPhone 8 to iOS 15.1 and now I get no notification sounds on my phone or Apple Watch after I receive a notification. I checked the "silent" switch on my iPhone, and it's not turned on. My Notification settings are the same as they were before I updated when I heard notification sound.


I check the Notifications settings for Messages, and they are turned on with a sound assigned to the notifications. But whenever I get a message, I don't hear a sound even though I see the notification banner on my iPhone home screen.


So how do I get the notification sounds to work?

iPhone 8

For all those that since IOS15.1 update with no Email sound notification try this as it worked for me, Settings>Mail>Notifications then scroll to the bottom>Customise Notifications>Alerts to ON.
