Google's Clock app for Android devices has recently seen an influx of one-star reviews on the Play Store because alarms are mysteriously remaining silent. But it looks as though the cause is not the app itself, but where the audio is being sourced from.
Typically, when you set an alarm in the Clock app it plays audio when triggered, but that's no longer happening for some users. As Liliputing reports, the culprit seems to be Spotify, and more specifically, any alarm that is using Spotify to source the audio to play for the alarm.
Google is aware of the problem and is working on a fix, but for now it's recommended that Android users stop using Spotify for alarm sounds. Instead, select audio from within Device sound while you wait for the fix to roll out. Anyone who didn't realize you could use Spotify in this capacity is probably glad they hadn't heard of the feature, but it was first introduced back in 2018.

According to a post on the Spotify Community site the problem was introduced with the Spotify updage on Aug. 24, with Google only confirming a fix was in the works on Sept. 3. There's sure to be a number of users out there who were left very confused about missing alarms they were sure had been set to go off, but it turns out it wasn't their fault and they aren't going crazy or deaf.
