Does not receive audible notifications with text messages received. Have followed all steps to ensure all options are correctly set. Still does not work.. occasionally will receive a sound notification message inconsistently.

Original Title: Text message notifications dont make sound

And that is why you sometimes get text notification sounds and sometimes don't. When your iPhone screen is locked and you are wearing your watch, notifications will be delivered to your watch, NOT your iPhone. If your iPhone screen is open, notifications will be delivered to your iPhone, NOT your watch. This is exactly how Apple designed it to work. In short, as the support article I'm linking suggests - Notifications will be delivered to your Watch or your iPhone, but not to both --> Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
On my Apple Watch, I have notifications set to mirror my iPhone, but I don't use sounds on my watch. I use Haptic Notifications set at the maximum level. This way, I get quite a strong tap to my wrist when a notification arrives. And no one around me is aware I'm getting a notification.

By chance, do you wear Apple Watch?
Thank you. Appreciate your insight.
