<![CDATA[Alarm clock sound not changing]]>Hi, recently, i tried to change the default alarm clock sound wich i can't stand anymore as it is very stressing sound, but it doesn't take effect.

I mean, i can listen sound in the list, i can validate sound change, it seems to be registered as if i go back to setting my choice remains, but fired sound still is alarm clock.

I hoped OTA22 would maybe fix this, so i waited untill then to make this thread. But no luck.

What could cause this ?
Where is stored the clock sound settings ? (not in .local/share/com.ubuntu.clock/user-preference i checked there)

Other sounds changes like phone ring and notification sound work well.

I've tested to change the alarm sound in a new one. That worked.

I have changed the default sound to Bliss.
Created a new alarm and it played Bliss.

Changed again to Array mbirra, created new alarm and played it when alarm went off

If I set the default sound to a custom sound then set an alarm I get a silent alarm. If I then set the default sound to a pre defined sound but select the custom sound when setting an alarm then it works OK???

Is anyone else seeing this? This is on a Volla Phone X at OTA 22.

Wow, i can't believe i didn't see that....
Created a new alarm and that's it, it play the good alarm sound !

The fact i tried to clear data of clock app, uninstall, and reinstall app, then see that alarms previously set were still there should have made me understand once set, one alarm stays the same as when it was created.

You even made me understand that we can set alarm sound individually for each alarm set, even after creation !

So thank you, i learned something very usefull : i'm so noob...

I just tried setting a user defined sound from a track in my music folder and setting that as default sound.

Weird result. It appears to work but there is no sound. I'll have a delve.

It looks like tou were setting a user defined

I tried to change the sound by one provided out of box with UT.
I only tried "custom" sound as a workaround.

On my old N5 I never changed the default sound in the settings page, I just changed the sound each time I set a new alarm and that worked OK.

On my Volla Phone X changing each time a new alarm is set works as does setting the default in the settings page.

It looks like tou were setting a user defined sound and trying to set that as the default in the settings page. I will see if that also works and get back to you.

Didn't try on N5, i don't use it as it's battery is almost dead (last only few hours in iddle), but anyway, i'd like this to work on my daily device that [violently for the moment] wakes me up every day to go to work.
