When asking Siri to set an alarm, "Hey Siri, set alarm for 3pm," the Sound setting always defaults to none

At one point in time, Siri would always choose a song as my Alarm wake up sound. Siri would always default to the same song, regardless of what I changed, but at least I got a sound.


Now, when asking Siri to set an alarm, I always get these settings:

Repeat - Never

Label - Alarm

Sound > None is checked

Snooze - On


How can you change the default sound used for an alarm when creating it with Siri?


I've read other guidances like manually create an alarm then Siri will follow that lead, check settings, reboot phone, etc. None of these have worked.


I currently have one named alarm called "Wake Me Up" where I can say, "Hey Siri, change Wake Me Up to 7am." However, I would rather not have to rely on a previously named alarm setting. I just want to ask Siri to set alarm for any specific time and have an audible sound associated with it.


So, are there any other options that I haven't tried?


Thanks

Bruce
