I'm running Android 10, and I need a specific app to be able to override/ignore the DND.

I've looked all over and I'm stating to think the option isn't there, but I'm almost sure my alarm used to ring while in DND mode.

In the settings for Do Not Disturb there is a section for Exceptions. You can set exceptions for calls, messages, and conversations, for alarms and media, and for specific apps.

This is on my S10e, not sure if it's a Samsung-specific setting, but I doubt it.
 
Duno about in DND mode (not even sure how to enable that), but my phone is on vibrate permenently, and my alarm still goes off like normal even when headphones are connected as well, i.e plays through phone's speaker rather than headphones.

Maybe its just your alarm settings that are borked?
 
The option should be available under DND settings (ALLOW ACCEPTIONS) easiest way it to press hold on DND icon in drop down menu then option ALLOW ACCEPTIONS options should show Alarms and media is default to ignore the DND mode

Dude, that would be great except the app part doesn't appear on mine, only Calls, Messages, Alarms, Media sound, touch sounds, Calender events, reminders.

Pretty sure the app is not making any noise even though Alarms and Media sounds are enabled.

So the reason I suspect is the alarm went off on my wife's phone but not mine. I was sleeping though so maybe mistaken
 
I checked with her now and she confirmed it was definitely her phone and didn't go off on mine

Are you saying there is a definitely a App selection option on that screen? I'm also running Sammy S9 One UI version 2.5

Settings -> Notifications -> Do Not Disturb

My alarms definitely still work even during DnD hours.
 
Are you sure you're using the stock Samsung alarm app (Clock)? That's the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't work. If you are then I am out of ideas... There might be a better DnD app on the play store?

It's not just an issue alarm clocks more so for alarm systems

I suggest you don't update your software

 
Android 11, OneUI 3.1.

Maybe you will get the option if your phone gets Android 11? Not sure if it's planned for the S9...
