      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.

        @keneda Hello. 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

          Works OK on Volla Phone X on OTA21. I have my alarm set to Harp arp.

            Here i found another config file :

            It seems that it's correctly saved there but still, "alarm clock" is the fired sound...
            I'm lost.

              @keneda Have you tried it on your Nexus 5? It used to work for me on that as well.

                I tried to copy sound from the ubuntu folder to the music user folder, set a custom sound from this, config file change accordingly, but same result, alarm clock firing.

                  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.

                    @keneda I was just trying to rule out the possibility of the problem being device specific. 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.

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

                        Just tested on N5 (still on OTA17) and that just works fine.

                          @keneda Out of the box sounds works OK for me. Give it a go on your old Nexus 5 to see if it works on that.

                          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.

                                @keneda So not being able to set the default alarm sound could be a Meizu MX4 problem?

                                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???

                                  Maybe a MX4 problem, or maybe subsequent to some apt things i did for helping dev purpose, i don't know.

                                      I hope so lol, MX4 are old, not a lot device remaining i guess, but this device is rock solid so there are some out there i know 😁

                                      At least now i have updated my N5 to OTA22 😅

                                          No it doesn't.

                                          Alarm sound stays "alarm clock" whatever i do.
