Help All my alarms are silent [SOLVED]

I overslept this morning because my alarm went off but did so silently.

This was working on Sunday morning but I have tested it this morning and, although alarms do go off and the phone does vibrate if that option is ticked, the alarm is silent, which clearly isn't much use.

I am not in silent or priority mode and the volume is turned up. I am receiving notifications so the sound is definitely working.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong?


EDIT: SOLVED

Sorry for the waste of bandwidth but you never know, someone else might have the same problem.

The issue was that somehow I had turned the down the alarm volume in the Sound & notification settings. I have no idea how as I didn't even know that such a setting existed until 10 minutes ago but that appears to have sorted the issue.
