Received the new S20 yesterday and everything is working perfectly except for notifications. 

 

I have searched every forum and searched through all the settings on both the apps and the notification settings  and everything is as it should be, but still no notification sounds.

 

The only unusual thing is when I go through the list of sounds no sample is played. Could it be that for some reason no files are actually attached to the ringtones?

Does this issue still appear when your phone is in safe mode?

In safe mode with bluetooth off, changing the volume "Notifications" setting or "Notification sound" does not make any sounds on my phone.

In safe mode with bluetooth off, if I change the volume "Media" setting and then immediately change the "Notifications" setting (before the media sounds ends) then I can hear the notification sound.

In safe mode with bluetooth on, I can hear notification sounds through a bluetooth headset.

This issue is not resolved and should not be marked "solved".

I've tried all solutions on this thread, including multiple factory resets, and am still not able to get notification sounds.

This is not solved.

I am not getting any notification sounds as far as I can tell.  But the only notifications I used to get were for text messages.  I never got email notifications (using gmail app).

 

But I don't even get sounds when I go directly into the "Volume" controls and slide the notifications volume slider.  I can hear notifications when using a bluetooth device, but not through the phone, even when bluetooth is completely disabled.

 

I'll try submitting a ticket, as you suggest.  I'm just shocked that factory reset with no sim or sd card, and safe mode doesn't fix the issue.

My phone was fine until about 2 weeks ago (received it in August). All the sudden, in the middle of the day, notification sounds will stop. all settings appear to be good, but I have no sound on notifications only (ringer and media are working fine). I have to restart my phone to get notifications back, which wouldn't be an issue if I wasn't having to do this at least twice a day.

I'm having the same problem, notifications are working sometimes with all apps but not every time.
