iPhone alarm sound not playing on iOS 26

In the two days since I’ve installed iOS 26, I’ve awoken (late) in the morning to see that my phone had my alarm on the screen, but no sound playing. This has been a known issue in the past due to attention aware features, but I have those turned off already. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max

This was happening to me too. I had to go in settings, sounds and haptics, and turn the sound up. The update turns the sound completely down. Now it works like it used to. My phone is still on silent no sounds for texts and calls but my alarm now makes sound.
