One alarm insists to chime instead of playing music?

I have several alarms going off around the house in the morning. But one of them (the last one) - Norman’s - will only chime. See screenshot. Any tricks to avoid that….? Thanks!

Or, if that doesn’t work, try deleting it, and setting it up again.

You could look at the connection the speaker depends on. Sonos reverts to the chime when it cannot immediately find the chosen music.

The alarm was only added a few days ago. Guess it is internet-Spotify-related  somehow. Will try with a local library path then. Annoying.

Did not work either. I’ll try the ‘delete and re-enter alarm’ then.

i’m having the exact same issue and have tried deleting the alarm and resetting it, but it’s still revert to the chime which is very annoying. Does anybody have a fix yet?

okay, I have fixed it. It does seem to be down to how easily it can connect to the selected radio station or service. I changed the station from KISS FM to BBC Radio 6 and it immediately got rid of the annoying chime. I have noticed that some streaming radio services are much easier to connect to despite there being a good Wi-Fi connection in my house. Hope this helps you.
