Hello!

I have a little problem with custom alarm sounds after updating to Android 7.0.

I can set my custom alarm sound, and it works fine when the phone is on. But when the phone is turned off, alarm correctly powers on the phone and i hear some generic "gong gong gong" instead my alarm sound.

Standard alarm sounds works fine.

The only thing that comes to my mind is new file encryption and "direct boot".
I tried to push my alarm sound to system/media/audio/alarms using adb, but with no success.
I also tried to change the encryption method (described here) but there is no such thing in developer options.

It worked fine on Android 6.0 (had no problems on my old phone that used Android 4.4).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

OK, I don't know why it was behaving like this, but after reinstalling Android 7.0 my alarm sound works correctly
