OK, so I was using an alarm to remind me to do something, but it didn’t go off, only vibrated.
I went through all the settings but couldn’t get it to sound.

use the volume control to adjust the Alarm Volume (this is different from Ringer Volume). Turn up the alarm volume to the desired level and test the alarm again.

It should work now.
Thank you! Frustrating problem to solve, but this worked like a charm for me.

Thank you so much for this!

Thanks a lot !

The very first unlogic user interface discovered so far at this Android phone. Else it´s very intuitive – I have never read a tutorial or anything else – I just started to use it and this is the first thing I didn´t found out just by using the phone. Seems like there should be an alarm sound level setpoint slider available within the alarm settings menu instead of using the button on the side of the phone. At least for me it´s not very logic to use the physical button for this.
