anyone know how to control the alarm volume in beta two? I know previously it was dependent on runger volume but I have the ringer volume lowish at night for the alarm but it comes on LOUD anyone else getting this issue or know a fix?

It's in the 'bedtime' section of the alarm, select 'options' at the top of the screen and you should see it

It is tied to your media volume not your ringer volume, they swapped it since the last OS. I am not a fan of the change.

Yikes. Really? I hope that's a bug. I'll try to repro tomorrow and if I confirm I'll report it as such

Thats how it is for me, I only noticed it because I was playing a song on my phone and noticed my timer went off full volume when earlier it was completely silent. I set a few alarms and tried no media volume which game me no alarm volume (when using a custom alarm sound not the default one) and full media volume which game me full alarm volume (again using a custom alarm sound). I do not know if this is the same case when using a stock alarm tone as all of them make me want to cut myself so I have not used them in years.

Interesting. I wonder if it is "media plays at media volume. Standard alarm tones play at ringer volume". Still an obvious but if so. I'll try and check it out tomorrow.
