Clock app alarm not playing set music

The alarm in the default clock app on my phone suddenly stopped playing the music I selected a while back. I have the music downloaded, so I know that’s not the issue, and I’ve tried re-selecting the music and even using different songs, as well as just restarting my phone, but none of it works. Right now it just uses default alarm noise instead. What can I do to get it to use my music again?

Hi Emicchi18,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that your alarm doesn't play selected song.


Have you attempted to create a new alarm with your chosen song?


Also, check out the troubleshooting steps outlined here to help you to isolate this behavior further: How to set and change alarms on your iPhone


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.
Manually adjusting the time on your iPhone in Settings to change app behavior, like game timers, isn't recommended and can affect alarms.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
