Calendar Alert Sound Not Changing

Calendar alert tone cannot be changed on my phone. No matter what tone I select it plays the same one.

Iphone 12 with IOS 16. Has a solution been found yet?

Similar issues with my iPhone SE3 iOS 16, as well as my previous iPhone SE2. I can change the sound in Settings>Sounds >Calendar Alert and Settings>Notifications>Calendar>Sounds/Customize Notifications and most newer Calendar Events will begin using the new sound, but older events still use original sound settings from a few years ago.


This problem persists in spite of multiple efforts such as turning notifications off then on again after rebooting, etc. It didn't even correct after a full Reset!


When I got my new phone and transferred/recovered from backup, the issue apparently transferred along with my data and settings!


The problem has been occurring for over a couple years now; really frustrating that it still hasn't been fixed.
