Yes, gravity affects sound becasue sound is just a mechanical ly driven logitudinal wave. SInce the medium that sound propagates in can be affected by gravity then the sound will be affected. Light also is affected by gravity light dosent have mass but it is affected because it has Momentum. Light is proven to bend around planets and stars because of its gravitatinal field.

Yes, gravity affects both.
This has been proven by observing stars as massive objects pass between them and us. The star is visible to us for a brief amount of time after the object has passed in front of it because the light coming from the star is bent around the object and towards us.

I know gravity effects light because light can't escape the gravity of black holes in space. As far as sound...I'm not sure.
