I don't know if I'm encountering the same bug but comment #49 seems to say so… I have two 4.5 phones, and I think I've always had a notification sound for Gmail, even though there's no way to choose which sound is played. However, since OTA-9 one of my phone only plays the notification sound very quietly as described by roa. The other continues to work fine. I've checked different sound levels (main, multimedia, alarm) but they all appear to be good.
