March update, Bluetooth Audio, and alarm clock (feddit.de)

Before this latest update (android 14 March update; pixel 7a), I used to get alarms both on my Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, and the phone speakers. That's also true for the timer function.

But now it seems they're going only to the hearing aids, not the phone, which is problematic because at night the hearing aids sit in a charger, not my ears, but are (quite annoyingly) still connected to the phone. Which means the last few days I missed my morning alarm.

The other morning, while trying to figure out what was going on, I selected the alarm tone, and it only kind of played on the phone (my hearing aids were still in the charging case). It played for less than a second then off. A little later, it played and then off.

When I first upgraded to the march update, I noticed Bluetooth cycling on and off a few times (but I don't recall seeing it afterwards).

Anyone have similar experiences? Known bug? Some settings I'm not aware of that I should try?

Unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't offer support or replacement parts anymore. My acoustician could semi-fix them for now but I'd rather trial new ones on my own terms and not when I have to.
