No volume alarm about kraigsandroid

Can you reproduce this problem after you uninstall Timeriffic?  I'm willing to 
bet it's causing the problem.

There's no concept of a 'master' volume in android.  There are multiple audio 
channels, each with an independent volume control (ringer, media player, alarm, 
etc).  Any application can play sound through any channel or change the volume 
of any channel.  The channel names are really just a convention.  There's 
nothing preventing you from writing an application that plays music through the 
ringer channel or an alarm that plays sounds through the media player channel.

Alarm Klock plays its sounds through the 'alarm' channel and also (optionally) 
changes the volume of that channel slowly while it's alarming.  If there is 
some other program trying to simultaneously change the volume of that channel 
(like Timeriffic) you'll probably see undesired effects.

First of all, Thanx a lot for this great app.
And thanx for taking your time to explain for a "layman" :-) the 
"under-the-hood" world of volume in the Android system... :-)
I will try your recommendation and uninstall the Timeriffic app.

Thank you for that tip, it seams as if the Timeriffic app caused all the 
hassle...
The thing is that it at first seamed work just fine since i didn't let 
Timeriffic mess with the alarm volume (set to "as-is").
Now all seams just peachy again...
Thank you.
