Summary:

Alarm sounds will only sound once after an alarm is triggered belonging to an alarm category that has a priority but no alarm sound. In this case the alarm is displayed on the alarm summary page only so it can't be acknowledged and therefore the sounds stop working.

Solution:

On the ON Action of the alarm category add the Cicode function AlarmAck(2, category number). This will ensure any Summary Page only alarms with a priority will be automatically acknowledged and alarm sounds will work as expected.
