Ok so here's what I did... I simply hooked my phone up to my laptop through a usb cord to charge it. I did not do anything else at all just charged the phone.

Here's what happened.... all of my ringtones, notifications, etc. are now that stupid sound the phone makes on startup... which I an change one by one again ... Uhg by why did that happen....

Also and more importantly it totally destroyed the usefulness of my alarm... the sound level of it is like below that of a pin drop.. an I can't figure out how to fix it.

This stumped me when I first got my EVO. It seems as though when your device is mounted to your PC or Mac, it doesn't use the dedicated/personal ringtones that you've set up for individuals or app functions (reminders, alerts, etc.), because the SD card is not available to the device.

So if a person, in which you've set up a dedicated/personalized ringtone calls you while the phone is mounted, the phone will ring with the generic/stock ring tone.

Once you unmounted the SD card, your personalized ringtone setting will come back.
 
I move all of my notification tones to the internal storage. I was clearing media storage frequently due to the gallery getting hosed. Moving them to the internal storage keeps them from being affected.

That's happened to me once or twice. I think it happens when you don't unmount the phone from the PC properly.

Which handset are you using?

If you go to menu>settings>sound>volume what does it show?

Also if you open the clock app and select the alarm you should be able to edit individual alarm volumes.

Not sure if you saw this edit to my previous post:

Yeh I had been doing that.... but I figured it out. Idk why but when I went to check my volume in settings today for my media, instead of the 2 volume settings I normaly have in there there was a 3rd one called alarm volume which was turned all the way down. I think its because I checked it shortly after my alarm was set to go off but Idk,... because I checked the same place yesterday when someone asked me about my volume settings and alarm volume was not an option before. Odd but it works now thanks folks
