-Tap "Home"

-Find "Pref(erences)"

-Under "General", tap "Sounds & Alert"

-The settings therein are global, so it might be worth investigating.

If everything seems all right, test to see if the sound output works at all.
Use something like an MP3 player or, even more easily, move the sliders
under Sounds & Alert. You should hear test sounds.

Don't look for the problem, look for the solution. Start by looking at
the reset button. Then press it.

In every case where I've seen a Palm quit waking up to give alarms, it was
because it got low on power and didn't quite come back up cleanly. Again,
in every case, a hardware reset kicked it back into proper shape.

Thanks all for replies.
Reset did it.
BTW it's a T3 and I was still using it happily for music so sound was
OK generally, just alarms were not working. And it had recently been
low on power (because that bloody wireless card eats it up so
quickly...)
Cheers.
