In the past, muting the ringtone didn't mute the alarm. But starting sometime last Spring or, I can't find a way to mute the ringtone without it muting the alarm as well. In the Volumes control panel, where it shows the four volume levels, moving the Ringtone volume to zero mutes Notifications and Alarms, and they can't be changed until Ringtone is taken off mute.

Is there a way to do this I just haven't found?
 
I really do not think this can be done. Or atleast experimenting with my phone it cannot be done anyways. Not sure if anyone else has tried this or not.

Update:

Ok I'm a bone head I was lowering the sound with the sound keys and not thinking about the internal volumes In My Motorola's Settings there is a volumes setting in the Sound Setting This allows you to customize the volume sounds for each individual:

a. Music, video games, and other media
b. Riingtone
c. Notifications
d. Alarms

Check in your settings on the device you are on and see if its similar to my settings.
