It there any way to control volume for alarm and ringer separately? I use max volume during the day in order not to miss calls and min volume at night so that alarm won't wake anybody. So I have to change volume twice a day - not very convenient.

Wow that was an incredibly helpful explaination. It's as if you didn't notice that everyone here is asking HOW to separate alarm volume from ring volume...not asking if you CAN separate the two.
Q: How to rebuild a transmission?
A: Try rebuilding the transmission.
Like seriously dude. Why did you even comment.

uri65,
I think i'm having the same trouble. I want my alarm to ring quietly- it doesn't take much to wake me up- and nothing worse than a blaring sound to jolt me out of bed. However, I want my phone calls to ring loudly. If I set the volume low at night for my alarm to ring quietly, I forget to set it back up in the morning and then I can't hear my phone ring with a call or text message.
I found a free app called Nightstand Central. I set the alarm and volume the way I want but it doesn't change my phone volume setting so I can leave that up (I don't have an issue with getting phone calls/texts at night). Yes, I'd like that functionality directly in my clock --> alarm settings in my phone but this is an ok work around and was free.
If they were separate I could set volume once and forever - low for alarm and high for ringer. Now I have to change it every evening and every morning. Quite often I forget and then either it wakes my spouse or I miss few calls in the morning.

Like, seriously dude. Why did you register on this site just to chastise someone? All those points Chris has they got because the people they helped gave them. What have you done to help people in these forums, dude?
You might also want to pay attention to the fact that in the time since Chris was active in this thread, Apple resolved the issue.

His issue is the same as mine. I need to the volume for my alarm to stay consistent and the volume for my calls to stay consistent. But, I don't need them to be the same. Therefore, I need them to be separate.

Submit your feedback to Apple here:
Meanwhile, try using the Bedtime feature of the clock. It has a separate volume for the alarm.
You can set the alarm volume separate from the ringer volume.

No, there's no way to do it! Personally, it's the most annoying thing about ANY Apple product,
You're annoyed that all Apple prodcuts have alarms you cannot set separate from the ringer?
AirPort, Aperature iTunes, iMac, MacBook, AppleTV, (etc...) do not not have alarms/ringers.
It's insane, stupid or pathetic - take your pick
Some of the posts in these forums?
Agreed.

Wow every helpful button unable to be clicked here??? Even after logging in.
How many have you already clicked? I know there are limits on the number of Helpful buttons you can click. Off hand, I'm not sure if the limit is by thread or by day.
I'd like to ask that as well. Who is Chris CA? He has replied to many questions, but with no solutions. If you don't have the issue or any helpful advice, why are you wasting our time? I too get tired of having to,and forget to, change my ringer volume. I keep my ringer off at work due to meetings, etc. I need to volume up at night for my alarm. If I forget, no alarm. I always used my android for my alarm. I really wish Apple would fix this. And I use DND at night.
I don't know for sure who needs what by now, so consider this a generic fix. I have an older phone (5s) and here's what I do. The ringer, alerts and alarms can be set to different sounds. Even multiple alarms can each have separate sounds. Assign sounds with volumes needed for each purpose. If there's not enough volume difference, try those that are more/less harsh or abrupt.
I have another option, as I made custom ring tones from favorite songs that work not only for different alerts but different people in my directory. Volume can be adjusted during creation, so I have both soft and loud (this was done years ago- don't ask me how as since then Garage Band has morphed and my memory has faded). My ringer ("In the Mood", "Johnny Be Good") and my alarms ("Bugle Call Rag", others) are loud. My alerts and notifications are lower and a couple have no tone- only vibrate.
Hope this helps somebody.

Not sure if someone else has posted already, but you can set this in Bedtime settings (once you have answered all the Nanny questions 🙂)
Yes, it has already been posted, by one of those people that Badtower chose to disparage. More than once, actually. Other solutions have been posted, also, in this 7 page thread.
Not that I know of (maybe via jailbreak tweak). Otherwise the alarm clock righ is linked to the general volume.
Some third party alarm apps have their own volume control.
If what you want to do is turn off the ringer but leave the alarm on, use the mute switch on the side. The alarm will also work even when Do Not Disturb is active.
Thanks.
I use Mute of course but it doesn't solve my problem - I need min volume at night (for alarm) and max volume during the day (for ringer).
So turning down the volume at night doesn't seem like it would cause a problem. It doesn't sound as if you're saying you need the ringer low and the alarm high at night bu rather that you just need the volume low at night. I'm not sure why it matters, then that they're not separate.
Separate volume control for alarm and ringer
