On my pixel 5 I can get to these sliders if I hit the volume button on the side and then tap the three dots that appear under the main volume slider.

I’m convinced AI has already taken over and is in every device, it just lacks ambition. Instead of wanting to be Skynet and wipe us out, it just wants to be a bit annoying.

Or maybe it wants us to miss our alarms and lose our jobs, which can then be taken over by AI 😞

Oooh that’s cunning.

As a fellow Pixel 6 owner I find it funny when it says this, especially right after Ive started charging the phone and it says alarms that werent played because the battery was dead maybe were ignored because of low volume

Anyway, Ive found my apparently low volume loud enough for when Im sleeping

ps. no idea if it works, I don't own this model.

ohhh! that's very interesting - I was sure I wasn't doing it myself (since I don't know how haha)

Press the volume button. There are 3 dots at the bottom of the slider which appears. Press that and you can see separate volumes for different functions (phone, media, alarms etc). I found this out the hard way too

Or Settings -> Sound and vibration

thank you! this was driving me mad (like yes, I want whatever idiot thing I'm watching on reels to be borderline inaudible but not the alarm ffs)

Another reply to you has a link to a reddit thread on a bug with Google Pixels and alarm sound levels. That could also be an issue. Worth glancing at that, contains useful information.
