I just upgraded to the 17 Pro Max from the 16 Pro Max. Everything ported over correctly. The only problem is I get zero alert sounds when the phone is asleep. I have checked volumes, focus times, and alert settings. Everything points to the phone making a sound when I get a text, email, or anything. Yet it sits here on my desk silent. When I pick it up, I have missed several messages. When the phone is open and i am using it, it dings, but not when asleep.
