I'm setting up a new Galaxy S9 running Android 10. When I go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Notification sound, it doesn't play each sound when I select it from the list.
If I go to Sounds and vibration > Ringtone, each time I select the radio button next to any item in the list, it starts playing that ringtone, just as it has always worked on other Android devices I've had, but in the Notification sound list, when I tap a radio button to select a new sound, it stays silent.
The device does play the selected notification sound when I actually get notifications. Also, I am able to change the notification sound, i.e. if I select a new sound from the Notification sound list, I do hear that new sound the next time I get a notification. The only problem is that while I'm selecting a notification sound from the list, it doesn't play each sound as I select it with the radio button next to it so I can hear what it sounds like.
Similarly, when I go to Sounds and vibration > Volume, if I move the slider for Ringtone, it starts playing the currently selected ringtone at the designated volume, so I can hear how loud it is, the way it has always worked on other devices, but when I move the sliders for Notifications, Media, and System, it stays silent. Again, it does change the volume for all of those sound channels, I just can't hear a sample while I'm moving the slider. For the Media and System volume sliders, this is consistent with the behavior of other devices I've had, but for Notifications, it has always played a sample when I moved the volume slider, just as it does for Ringtone volume.
(I did try wiping the cache partition, it didn't help)
