NO audible notifications on my iPhone SE 3rd edition

[learninmypc]

Some where along the line, my audio notifications quit. I google the situation & nothing worked. I HAD the online iphone user manual but can't find it. Then I remembered iTunes can be used to back it up so I downloaded itunes. Couldn't remember password , google couldn't help so I clicked forgot password, I changed password, itunes said it was wrong so I reset password again, still wrong. . This morning I uninstalled itunes out of anger. No access to iCloud so that is out. I simply wanted to back up my iphone so I could reset it in hopes the audio notifications work again. Any help is appreciated.

You may not need to reset anything. Check that the Ring/Silent switch on the left side isn't showing orange, then look at Settings > Focus (or Do Not Disturb) and Settings > Sounds & Haptics, where Text Tone and the other tones should not be set to "None". Also open Settings > Notifications, pick an affected app, and make sure Sounds is turned on. If you still want a backup first, a local backup in iTunes only needs the phone connected and trusted by the PC; you do not have to sign in with your Apple ID for that.

I've done those, will be patient, thank you.
