My timer and alarm isn't always working. 

My timer finishes as normal but no sound comes from it when the notification alarm sound is on and music has been associated with it. The same happens to the alarm clock. I've watched many YouTube and it tells me to go into notifications, then do not disturb, then apps to clear the data and cache. Still doesn't work. I've powered off and then on & there is sound to the timer and the alarm but that lasts for about an hour or two & then it goes silent again.

Currently it's fine as I've just restarted it but I've done everything you have said. Let's hope it stays like that.

Go to Clock, tap the three dots, then Settings, and adjust the volume.

Go to Settings > Apps > Clock, then force stop and clear cache. In the same menu, ensure notifications are allowed and that the "appear on top" setting is enabled.

I have the same problem. Have followed the instructions above and cleared the cache. Still no luck. Also, alarm will not sound at correct time after snoozing for 10 minutes; it will sound at 15 minutes. These issues need a fix from Samsung ASAP as I rely on my timer and alarm several times a day.

Having also followed the same steps to clear cache and force stop I'm still able to reproduce it fairly consistently. I've also restarted my device. My alarms work, fortunately, but the timers just go negative.

 

Here's how to reproduce:

1. Set a timer for two minutes.

2. Background the clock application. Make sure you see it counting down. 

3. Play any video with unmuted audio in a browser or YouTube. (Correction: play any audio at all.)

 

Observe the timer as it goes negative but never sounds.

Update: If you happen to have the mini timer overlay enabled you can see some bizarre behavior:

 In the uncropped screenshot above the timer had been not triggering for eight minutes and fifty one seconds, shown as "-8:-5-1".

I have the same issue. Clearing cache and restarting the phone didn't help either. My alarm is fine, but the timer doesn't work at all.

I've done a little more digging with ADB.

When a timer fails to trigger I see these messages in ADB (filtered to just the clockpackage):

I tried a few times.

One of the things that really stands out is the "04-14 09:55:37.707 31787 31787 W System.err: at com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.timer.service.PipTimerService.onStartCommand(SourceFile:8)" a system error in onStartCommand in SourceFile on line 8. The NotifHistoryProto is also interesting but might be a red herring.

Sounds like I've been having the same issue, and it looks like it started around the same time as the Bluetooth audio issue, which I'm also having.

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s25-series/bluetooth-issues/td-p/12020468/page/2

I wonder if the 2 are related.
