I think the handoff feature might be the culprit with my lack of notification sounds for text messages. I currently have it set to handoff SMS to my MacBook Pro. This worked fine under iOS 8, BTW. I also have issues with too many unknown callers annoying me with their telemarketing BS, not an iOS issue of course, so I set up the Do Not Disturb feature to always be active but allow calls from my Favorites list. That works as it does silence the unknown callers, but I wonder if perhaps it is buggie and also silencing all SMS too. I'm testing this out by disabling the Do Not Disturb feature today to see if I now get SMS notification sounds on the iPhone 6+.
