Alarm volume turns low after the first ring

I have an I phone pro max 12. after the last update my alarm suddenly is not working properly. it will ring once, then go very low and i am sleeping through it. what happened and how do i fix it? i have already tried sounds and haptics and the volume is up. i have turned it off in an attempt to re-set it. neither of these things work.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hi schaib427,



Here's some information from the How to set and change alarms on your iPhone resource that might be helpful:


If the alarm volume is too low or quiet
Do Not Disturb and the Ring/Silent switch don't affect the alarm sound. If you set your Ring/Silent switch to Silent or turn on Do Not Disturb, the alarm still sounds.
If you have an alarm that doesn't sound or is too quiet, or if your iPhone only vibrates, check the following:
Set the volume on your iPhone. If your alarm volume is too low or too loud, press the volume button up or down to adjust it. You can also go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag the slider under Ringer and Alerts.
If your alarm only vibrates, make sure that your alarm sound isn't set to None. Open the Clock app, tap the Alarm tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.
If you connect headphones to your iPhone, the alarm plays at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones.
