iPhone 18 Pro Max: Intermittent sound for notifications, ringtone and alarms.

Iphone 18 pro max - Notifications, alarm and ringtone intermittently not sounding.


Hi, since I purchased my iPhone 18 pro max, my notifications, alarm and ringtone doesn’t sound intermittently. I receive a phone call or a notification and it doesn’t make a sound, but a minute later if I receive it again, it makes a sound. I also had 2x alarms set 1 minute after the other and they didn’t sound, but another alarm did sound.


All other sounds are perfect and consistently sound every time. I have run diagnostics and all come back perfect.


I have turned off attention aware, my ringtone is turned up to full and I have match ringtone volume turned on for alarms and timers and alerts and system sounds.


Thanks.

P.s it did this on iOS 27.0.0 as well as iOS 27.0.1. It does feel like a software issue.

Are there any mods from Apple on here that can help?
