Stock messages app doesn't make sound even though notifications are on. Anyone else with this dillema?

hey, I have a quick question for you guys. I have two accounts set up on my gmail. For notifications I put the hangouts message sound for both accounts. Its really weird but after a day or two I noticed not hearing any sound when I get an email. I go into settings and under sound it gives me a random number. for example under sound it would say "3650". I switch them both back to the hangouts message sound. Then after another day or two it goes back to silent and gives another random number under sound. does anyone know whats wrong? has anyone ever had this happened?
must be something wrong with the hangouts app. have you tried assigning a different sound? one that was included with the device?
why would the hangouts app have anything to do with it? im just using the sound. I have not tried any other sound though.

its possible the hangouts sound is being sent to the phone from the play store so it could be getting changed because of the hangouts app being in control of the sound you are selecting. he was just saying that might be an option so you might try changing it to another sound to see if it continues. if it doesn't then something must be happening with hangouts. it might make sense that google changes the hangouts sound on its end and then "ports" it to the phone so they could change the hangouts sound whenever it wants.
Is anyone else having trouble with hangouts not giving notifications about 50% of the time? I keep missing SMS messages because they just appear in Hangouts later but I never receive a notification and the LED doesn't blink. Hangouts is the default messaging app.

Mine has been messed up ever since the video phone feature update. Calls just drop or are never made. Hang out messages are not seen or heard. It is a little irritating.
When I press the 'do not disturb" button, calls and sms messages are set to quiet, I do not get a sound, this is great. But unfortuantely other apps, like whatsapp, still make sounds when a notification has been send.
Is there a way to solve this?

Can't help. Had the same problem on the first software version that was on my phone. Never bothered to try it on the version I have now.
But I'm not surprised it isn't working. Seems only the default apps from the rom are muted.
In the default messaging app if I set the sound to none, I'm still receiving a sound when I receive a message. Testing done while texting myself. Anyone else having the same problem?
I have been using a Note 9 for about a year or so. I have a non-samsung SMS app (Chomp SMS) and WhatsApp both configured to emit notification sounds in addition to vibrate. I also have other apps that emit notification sounds.
In the last few weeks, something has changed, and now both my SMS app and WhatsApp only vibrate on messages. I have carefully checked the configuration of both apps, and they clearly show that they are configured to emit particular sounds for notifications. I can even verify what the notification sounds like in their settings pages. I have tried changing the default sms app back to the Samsung Messages app, and that has no problem emitting sounds for notifications. I have heard notification sounds from other apps, but it's hard to tell for certain whether any other apps are also having this problem. I emphasize again that this is happening both for SMS and for WhatsApp. I obviously don't have a "Samsung WhatsApp" to compare with, but for some reason the Samsung Messages app has no problem. I also tried switching back to Chomp after verifying that Messages works, but it still doesn't emit sounds. I have tried rebooting the phone. No difference.
