What Causes Galaxy S22 No Alarm Sound?

A Samsung Galaxy S22 may not produce any alarm sound due to any of these reasons:

• On a faulty Software Update: Users have reported that the 2022 May 22 update is the cause of this problem.
  
• Your Galaxy S22 is in Silent Mode: The phone’s alarm will not sound when it is in silent mode.
  
• The Alarm Won’t Sound During a Call: If you are on a call it won’t produce any alarm notifications.

Turn Off “Vibrate for alarms and timers”

Disable “Vibrate for alarms and timers” in Alarm settings:

1. Open the Clock app.
2. Tap on the 3 dots on the right side, then tap on Settings.

3. Turn off “Vibrate for alarms and timers“

Turn On “Allow alarm/notification sounds on call”

Follow these steps to enable this option:

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap 3 dots on the top right and tap on Settings.
3. Go to “Call alerts & ringtone“.
4. Then, turn on “Allow alarm/notification sounds in call”.

Clear Data of The Clock App

Warning: Clearing the data of the clock app will delete all the alarms you have set up previously.

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Apps.
3. Tap on the Clock app, then tap on Force stop (if you cannot see the Clock app tap the 3 dots on the right top and tap on Show system apps).

Update Google Play Services

Google Play is responsible for most of your Galaxy S22’s built-in functions, including the alarm.

1. Go to Settings and then Biometrics and Security.
2. Tap on Google Play system update, then tap on Update.

3. Restart the device after the update is completed.

Check for System Update

1. Go to Settings then Software Update.

2. Tap on Check for Update or Download and Install Updates.

If there is any update available for your Galaxy S22 device, it will get downloaded and you can install it. Make sure your device has enough battery to perform the update.

Clear Your Galaxy S22’s Cache

If none of the above solutions worked, then chances are higher that there is a system caching issue on your Galaxy S22 which prevents the alarm from sounding. To fix this, you have to delete the system cache in your S22.

Note: This process won’t delete any of your personal data.

1. Turn off your S22 device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up (+) and Power Button at the same time. Then the recovery mode will appear.
3. Once the recovery mode shows up, use the volume buttons to select the Wipe cache partition option and then press the power button.

4. Then, you will see a confirmation message. Using the volume buttons and the power button select “Yes” and confirm to start clearing the cache on your device.

5. You will see two (2) to three (3) “Wipe cache complete” messages, then you will see the same option you saw in Step 2. Select the Reboot now option and press the power button to restart the device.
