Check your device settings. Ensure the alarm volume is turned up in the sound settings. Examine other factors like 'Do Not Disturb' mode, which might silence the alarm, or whether the device's speaker is blocked or damaged. If none of these resolve the issue, consider updating your device software or using a different alarm app.
