Bug Description

I set an alarm time and tested the sound - I could hear it perfectly. But the alarm never made a sound. After several test it turns out that you have to tick the box to the right to enable it (I had thought this only toggled a countdown view).

I think:
1) the alarms should be ticked by default
2) the checkbox column should be titled "enable" or similar
3) disabled alarms should be greyed out so that the user knows what's going on and doesn't run into trouble
