I've seen that others have encountered this too. Now that my alarm didn't go off this morning, I'm getting very concerned!
After updating to iOS6 a few weeks ago, I noticed at least 3 phone calls that did not either ring or vibrate. For 2 of them, I didn't know I had a call until I saw the missed call in my Recent call list. On the 3rd, I got a voice mail alert but no record of the preceding call! In other words, the original call never showed up in the Recent list.
I also had a few texts arrive that never notified me with the usual tone and vibration.
I rebooted (about 2 weeks ago) and things started working OK, but this morning my Nightstand Central alarm didn't generate the alarm tone. My wife's alarm goes off near the same time, so I was waiting for my tone. I looked over at the phone and saw the visual alert with the Snooze or Stop buttons, but no sound!
Here's where it gets interesting. I am in the app's Pick a Sound page, and I can select among the 20 or so tones. Many of them make a sound when selected, but others (including the one I normally use, the Old Fashioned tone) do nothing. Here's the list:
Tones that currently make a sound:
Birds, Brown Noise, Fan, Rain, Spring Weather, White Noise, Beeper, Dial Up Modem, Doorbell, Ping, Reveille
Tones that do nothing:
Flowing Water, Waves, Air Raid, Alarm Clock, Church Bells, Harp, Old Fashioned, Synth
What's the deal? I've used this app for a year and never had this problem, it has always been very dependable. I suspect the iOS6 update.
I also started using the Do Not Disturb feature immediately after the update. I wonder if the bug is tied to this feature. Again, I've used Do Not Disturb now for weeks and I never had the alarm sound issue before, so something strange is going on.
I just rebooted again and the sounds now work. So something is getting corrupted after use.
