No Mail sounds since iOS 17 update

Hi


i have just updated to ios17 and since then, my Apple Mail app has been silent when I receive Mail. It still makes the swoosh sound when I send from the app. All Notifications are on. Volume is up. At the moment this appears to be the only app I’m having an issue with. Any ideas on a solution would be gratefully received

Ok. After some experimenting I have found a solution this this problem. However, this is an issue Apple needs to address.

The solution I found is in settings, then notifications, then mail, you MUST have Lock Screen notifications on have any sound when you receive an email. If, like me, you have sound notifications on, but all visual alerts on screen off, you will not get any sound notifications either on ios17. I will now try this with other apps
