So I'm not exactly sure WHEN this started happening, but my notification sounds don't seem to be working anymore on my Samsung Galaxy S9+. This may have started after the latest update, but I'm not quite sure. All my phone does is vibrate whenever I get an incoming nofication (text, Facebook, anything, etc.) They don't even play when I'm at the settings menu to select which one I want to play to the corresponding app. The ringtone, however, plays as it should when someone calls me.
The weirdest part is that when I have my phone connected to the Bluetooth stereo in my car, the notifications sounds chime the way that they should.
Does anybody else have this problem? If so, any suggestions/fixes? I've looked everywhere and have been searching for answers for well over a month now.
I had the exact same problem! I went through and double checked that I had a ringtone set for my notifications. For me it was messenger. I found that if the screen is turned off the ringtone sounds, but if the app is open, it won't.
For me it doesn't matter whether the screen is on or off, and I don't THINK messenger would be the cause, because it's effected as well. The only thing which seems to remove the problem is being connected to a Bluetooth device (such as my car stereo which I mentioned) but that's not a real fix.
Depends on what you mean. For instance, if I press the volume button to change the ringtone, that makes a sound. But even something like a notification that my battery is running low only creates a vibration, and not a sound. Will try safe mode and give an update
