Music on Alarm Won’t Play

With us being able to use Apple Music as an alarm. I couldn’t help but notice it won’t work. I use songs that are downloaded to my iPhone and still won’t work. Upon the alarm ringing, nothing plays. Before, it would play the default (radar) but now nothing plays.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Music Doesn’t Work for my Alarm Initially when I turned off the “Loseless Audio” and purchased a song on iTunes my song played on my alarm. I just recently upgraded from an 8+ to a 13 Pro Max and now my music doesn’t work on my alarm again. This is frustrating!!!

iOS 14.2 Alarm Doesn't Play Apple Music Song I have selected a song from my library as the song to play for my morning alarm on my iPhone but with the latest release (14.2), it will not play the song. It plays the standard alarm sound. I've tried switching songs and no luck. I have also tried multiple alarms. It will only play the standard alarm sound. Anyone else have this issue?

The song needs to be on the device and not on iCloud see the pic below for the Alarm clock to play a song.
