Alarm Clock not Playing Selected Song

I have even upgraded to the 14 Pro Max - song is download to the iPhone. Removed then re-downloaded the songs - nothing plays. I only noticed as I wanted to change the song for the season. Has this been an update issue? Or if I am missing something, please help!

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Greetings itzmissze,

Making sure the song is downloaded to your iPhone is a great step, please be sure the song you want to use is still downloaded.

Also, test to see if the alarm sounds using a default sound, just to be sure the alarm itself isn’t the issue.

A couple other things we can do -

Delete the alarm in question
Sign out of Settings > your name > Media & Purchases (NOT out of iCloud). This will remove any downloaded music from an Apple Music subscription, though you can redownload it.
Restart your iPhone
Sign back into Settings > your name > Media & Services
Download the song
Set up a new alarm with that song and test

Thanks.
