Hello, got my Nest Hub in November 2022 and still haven't managed to make the alarms work...
Tried every troubleshooting guide on this forum without success.
I use a regular alarm at 7.00am every day except on weekends, it also should start a routine that plays local radio podcast (franceinfo).
For now I've put an alarm on my phone at 7.05am to wake me up if the nest hub alarm doesn't ring. Most of the time I wake up with my phone and not with the nest hub.
At 7.00am it displays the "good morning" screen with the "close" and the "see sleep tracking" button but it doesn't make any sound and don't start my routine.
Sleep tracking seems to work fine but I tried to disable it, got similar results.
I also use the nest hub to play music with the Chromecast feature when I sleep but the playlist is shorter than my sleep time and isn't set to repeat so when the alarm should ring nothing is currently playing. Tried to don't play music, same results.
Also sometimes when it doesn't seem to work at 7.00am (and displays that "good morning" screen) and if I don't click anything, it will start playing the alarm music at 7.10am for some reason.
If for some reason the alarm works at 7.00am the alarm music sometimes stops before I click anything and the routine seems to start correctly (but says french words with english accent for some reason) and the news podcast just stops for no reason before the end.
If I try saying "ok Google, bonjour" it starts my morning routine without any problem and with the right language speaking.
It's working fine like 2 days in a month...
Tried resetting everything, changing Google accounts, trying other podcast, disabling every setting I could find, adding more alarms... All same results...
Weirdly enough pretty much all other features on this nest hub seems to work just fine, it answers fine for any voice command and all apps seems ok.
I really want to use my Nest hub for alarm but I just can't now.
Please provide me a fix, i tried every single troubleshooting i found on this forum...

-Alarm is correctly configured (it works sometimes)
-Restart doesn't fix anything
--Firmware is up to date
--I factory reset twice, didn't help
-Time zone is set to the right one (UTC+2 with DST on)
