Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.
Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences.
edit: I found that the alarm will not sound as long as the global volume slider for alarms is less than or equal to that of the volume slider on the individual set alarm! this is a weird occurrence
edit: scratch that
Thanks for reading!.
Hello there,
having same issues with alarm since 5.1.1 update. Last 4 days alarm worked fine for 2 days, did not work for other 2 days. Screen is lit up, but there is no sound.
Did not really check what causes it, but I have side keys behaviour on dismiss for sure.
Guess I'll try to increase the global volume slider and see what's up.
Thanks for the post!

I've had this problem since day 1 of upgrading to 5.1.1 from 4.4.4.
If I set the side keys action to "none" then everything works just fine, but as you mentioned, if set to dismiss or snooze, then the phone seems to automatically perform the action without me touching it. That's why we only hear the alarm for a split second. I was late to work two days in a row before I figured this out.
Though, what exactly do you mean by the global volume dictates whether or not the alarm will sound? I'm not sure I understood. I may need to try this.

You know when you press the side volume button that dropdown pops up at the top of the screen? If you click the button on the right of that dropdown, you get options to change the volume of Ringtone, Media, and Alarm volume; I called this the global volume. Then in our alarm edit there is a "Alarm volume" slider for each alarm. So I think I found that as long as the individual alarm volume is greater than that global alarm volume setting, the alarm will sound.
Could test this with a quick alarm one minute from now
I caught my bus late twice because of this I thought I was just getting used to my loud neighbour's 5 am parties.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I posted about it nearly 2 weeks ago and got no response. I did a full wipe before upgrading, then re-wiped again, then flashed the US firmware from two different members. Nothing solved the problem. Now I have to use the screen to snooze or cancel the alarm, which is harder to do when you're half-asleep.
The global volume slider thingie works... kind of...
if the global volume slider for alarms is higher than volume slider for specific alarm, it will sound even with side keys behaviour set to dismiss.
However, once the alarm sounds, it sets the global slider to the same level as is the alarm slider that just triggered. This means on the next day alarm won't sound, bcs global and specific alarm sliders are even (and even is not good enough, global just has to be higher).
Cheers

my alarm volume doesn't seem to work, i have the volume turned on, i have the volume cheked in sounds and notifications. I worked before, the only thing i do is turn the phone on vibrate when i go to work and turn the volume back on when i get off, i've been doing this every since i got the phone in november, now all of the sudden the volume doesn't want to work on teh alarm when i have the volume on, when i go to the alarm i get the popup that says make sure the volume is turned on in the sounds and notifications settings, which it is. i did a soft reset that didn't work, i then took out the battery and sim and put them back in thinking the phone just needed to clear itself or what ever kind of like shutting down a pc completely, and that didn't work either, any ideas on this? also every since taking out the battery and sim card, i now i have a blue circle in the top bar next the atenna were if i push it, it brings up the option to ativate PTT anyone know how to get rid of this?

anyone? i managed to get teh second part were i get the blue icon on the top bar to go away, but the alarm part i can not figure out.
Perhaps you should try custom alarm applications like Pocket WakeUp or Mortplayer or something the like.
Most of them can override volume control to a fixed point (even if you put your Kaiser on vibrate, the alarm app starts itself and sets the volume to a chosen strength, like 50%)

I had sound problems once. It happened when I set a music program to associate with mp3's (default is Windows Madia Player), once I removed the association, all played normal again.
I think I changed it with the back Advanced Configuration Tool.
Or try your alarm with a wav or mwa file, perhaps you'll get sound then.
No sound
I've had my Tilt for 2 days, and since I flashed the latest Dutty 6.1 ROM I have no sound from alarms, music, sliding keyboard, phone ringer...nothing. I can hear the other caller talking and they can hear me. My phone vibrates but does not ring, even though I have it set for vibrate and ring. Can anyone help?
Is anyone else experiencing these bugs?
This usually happens after an alarm has went off or if i have not noticed that one has been going off.
* The bottom speaker just turns off, no sound is received. So i'll get a phone call and i answer but no one can hear me, reboot fixes the issue but wtf.
* just 10 min ago the alarm went off to remind me of something and i hit dismiss and the phone went back to the main tiles. I tried to lock the phone and it didn't do anything. I hit the back button and nothing happened, i then try to navigate and the screen is frozen. Live tiles are still moving but no input is read. The power button doesn't work as well, i had to pull the battery.
Anyone have these problems?
I have the same issue about the alarm. I have multiple alarm setup and then if one of them alarms go off and i didn't turn it off the screen just froze, there is no input from the touchscreen but the tiles are working. I guess it is a bug in the programming that disables the touchscreen if the alarm that goes off wasn't turn off.
Hopefully this is fixed with the rumored update on thursday.
Alarm Bug
+1 with the alarm bug. Hope the software update fixes the poor sound level as well, as a working alarm would be nice but a working alarm that i can hear is much better
+1
Same problem
I use Nokia X2 for alarm clock
Alarm Problems
I use an app called Nightstand clock from the Marketplace. The sound of the alarm tones is much louder than wp7 alarm tones. Give it a try it hasn't let me down yet & more importantly has never froze. It can even run under the lockscreen. It hasn't affected the sound on my HD7 either.
Well i have the same problem and for now i download alarm clock 7 and only works if the phone its not lock cause in lock status the alarm does not sound.
I also have this problem
alarm goes off, and if i don't hit dismiss and let it run, the mic gets turned off
grrr
+1, i am also having the same issue
+1, i am also having the same issue. :laugh:
I have HTC HD7
I am having an issue with both of my Bionic's and it's probably I just don't know where to go. I use the stock alarm and also Gentle alarm. First, gentle alarm, the volume never goes as loud as it should; it's a simple program but I find it doesn't work but I digress. When my alarm goes off first off it doesn't seem as loud as it does when you pick the alarm sound you want to use but the really annoying thing is if I even touch the phone the volume goes clear down to the lowest level. Is there a setting on this phone that I am not seeing ? I tested it just to be sure last nite and every time it went off and I even touched or moved the thing the volume might as well have gone to mute you couldn't hear it. I need a much better alarm than this seems to be offering
If you go into the sound section of the settings app you should see a volume option, pick this and see if your alarm volume may have lowered any.

Has anyone had an issue where the alarm volume will increase past the set volume?
I'm not talking about the gradual increase of the alarm while it is sounding... Rather the "set" volume increasing over night.
I keep my phone on my bedside table over night, and if it set the alarm volume to half volume before bed, I will be woken up to an alarm at three-quarter volume. When I check the alarm volume slider, it has moved without me touching it.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi moha_moha20106,
I always have my phone on silent, so both those options are greyed out. Will they still have influence even though they are disabled during silent mode?
Thanks for the reply.
Hi, sometimes I will put my phone on silent and on a couple of occasions, I have been awake when my alarm is due to go off, and the screen changes to the alarm screen and has the slider to turn it off, but there is no sound at all.
Most of the time there is, but I wonder why sometimes there isn't.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have checked the alarms, and they all have the volume set to full.
Regards
James
It happened to me too. Today too. I would like to understand if there is a issue or I am to switch off the alarm while sleep
