iPhone 5s doesn't play the assigned ringtone.

Hi All,


I just recently got an iPhone 5s, upgraded from my iPhone 4.


Yesterday, I created some custom melodies in Garage Band (on the iPhone itself) and exported them as ringtone sounds. Ringtone export is possible from Garage Band.


I assigned the sounds to what I wanted: Ringtone, Text, Calendar, Email, Reminders . . . etc . . . in the main 'Sounds' menu. I did not assign any sounds to specific contacts.


Yesterday, the sounds worked perfectly when someone tried to call, text, or even send a meeting request.


Today, however, the iPhone 5s is using the default sounds it uses from the factory settings.


The odd thing is, the main 'Sounds' menu still shows my custom sounds assigned. And, when you try to assign them again you do hear the preview. So the sounds seem to be present on the iPhone 5s.


I noticed that when you assign any of the internal sounds, they work properly.


What is it, all of sudden, about my custom sounds that the iPhone 5s doesn't like? They worked yesterday and not today.


HELP!
