Do not disturb and the mute switch are a bit different. Mute silences
the sounds from your phone and is on until you switch it off.
Do not disturb can be set up on a schedule, and it can be customized, so
for example, you can have the phone ring if anyone in your favorites
calls you but not otherwise. You can also have calls go through if their
from the same person and you get three of them in a short period of time.
Here's an article that explains the difference:

Hi Alan,
This is a good tip; but I would like to know, is this doing something
different from just use of the “mute” switch by the volume arrows?
Thanks,
Chip

Regina,
I'm a bit unclear whether you got your sounds back from your update but
I will say there is an easy way to turn Do Not Disturb on and off:
1. Place focus on the top line of the screen such as on the time or
other item there.
2. Do a 3-finger swipe up to open the control center.
3. Single finger swipe right until do not disturb is announced and
double tap to turn it on or off as needed.
4. Use the scrub gesture to close the control center.

OK, here is my update on sounds. This might help someone else when
checking through and doing all the things that could be wrong.
I have been desperate to find a way to stop notifications when I am on
the phone and especially when reading. I decided to try do not disturb.
You cannot just turn do not disturb on and off. I entered it and turned
on manual and then at the bottom under heading silent selected always.
The thought that I might have do not disturb on persuaded me to check.
Um, forgot to switch it back to schedule and from always to on locked
screen. Thank you for that possibility! I sure wish Apple would give an
on and off to notifications. It would
be my most needed improvement!
