Okay, first off, two alarms, each for 00:00 set themselves at 10PM. Even if I delete all alarms, they just pop back up at 10, and show up in the notification area. Could this be coming from the Google Now side of things?
Second, I tried setting a different alarm tone using ES file explorer to select the tone (mp3).
Now when I try to change the alarm sound using media storage to pick, alarm force closes.
I cleared cache and storage for alarm, no luck.
Finally deleted the downloaded sound file, and that stopped it, media storage works again and does not force close.
Anyone experienced anything similar?

I'd like to configure alarms so that regardless of the system sound settings they still vibrate.
The built in "Clocks and Alarms" app only supports vibration when the system is not on Silent.
I've experimented with Pocket Alarm but couldn't get the desired outcome.
GAlarm was problematic because of some issues I had with the auto-rotation of my device and the graphics in Galarm getting subsequently messed up.
Is there a clock alarm out there capable of meeting this simple request?
for my suggestion:
1/ the room has some errors ==> upgrade another one
2/ check again all settings in Sound & Notification
The ROM has no errors. I am not the first person to complain about this behaviour of WM. It's the standard behaviour.
Sounds and Notifications has no setting that can control this. I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings.
here's a No Sound wav file... assign it as your alarm tone.
I already have a silent file on my machine which I use for startup and shutdown.
This is not the solution.
I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.
I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings. When I use a silent file as the alarm tone in (for example) Pocket Alarm, the vibration also gets turned off.
Been using the alarm function with no problems.......until recently! I woke up half an hour late for work the other day, went to check my phone wondering why the alarm hadn't gone off but the screen was flashing "SNOOZE " & "DISMISS" So the alarm was working but the sounds weren't and i had turned off the vibrate option because I hate that sound it makes.
I go into the alarm sound menu and none of them play, I go into the ringtones and they work fine. Same with message tones and music.
The sound options were all set correctly, alarm volume set to max. Silent mode wasn't the problem.
After a reboot the alarm sounds played again.
Anyone else had this problem?

Have you installed some apps like talking tom cat?

Just had the exact same thing happen to me this morning. This is the second time it has happened. I had also received an SMS before my alarm was supposed to go off, and it vibrated instead of playing my notification sound (even though I did not have it on vibrate only mode). Very, very annoying. Bring on root+CM7!!!
If you have any task killers, remove them.
I know many of the task killers will do this to your clock.
Thanks pr0x2, but I am running only the stock Sense task killer.
The problem may with the ringer. otherwise, go to settings, find sound and select volume. you may have set the specific volume to min. increase the alarm volume in that try.
I have three folders full of ringtones notifications and alarms gathered from pretty much every device. I put the ringtones folder on my SD card and it works fine and I could select ringtones through the sound options. I tried the same with the notifications folder and didn't have any luck. I am rooted and have Root Browser so I then tried copying the folder to the system /media./notification. Part of the phone. I fixed permissions and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to get my own notifications selectable through the sound options. With my droid razr I just made folders on SD card and ringtones notifications and alarms all work. Like I stated the ringtones works like this but no luck with notifications and I have yet to try alarms
So on 4.3 on my N4, all I had to do was put an mp3 in the alarms folder and do a reboot. After that, it would show up in the alarm notification menu when setting a new alarm.
For some reason, on my N5 it won't show up. I've tried putting it in the Alarms folder, in the Ringtones folder and in my Zedge folder, but it still will not show up in the menu selection for alarm sounds.
Any ideas?

Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
