Make sure sound is turned on in control centre. Restart your Mac. If still no sound try starting in Safe Mode and test. Then start in normal mode and test: Start up your Mac in safe mode – Apple Support (AU)

I used Activity Monitor to force quit the Core Audio Daemon. That seemed to fix the problem.

Corrupt audio is a common problem with this generation of MBP.

No, it did not.

Also when I select different sounds in the "New Message Sound" dropdown menu, I can't hear anything. (I'm pretty sure it's supposed to preview the sound).

Sound is fine. Like I said in my question, it works in every other app.
