Audio doesn't want to play

Question

I have been having so much trouble with this. After 5 hours of trying all kinds of things this idiotic thing still doesn't want to work. Then suddenly it worked and now it doesn't again -__-

This script is attached to the AudioSource. The times it get's through is 3.

this is the error I'm getting:

 NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 SoundManager.PlaySound (Int32 i, Int32 x) (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerScripts/SoundManager.cs:29)
 UIController.NButton () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerScripts/UIController.cs:82)
 UIController.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerScripts/UIController.cs:35)

And this is the script.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class SoundManager : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public AudioSource audioSource;
     public AudioClip AlarmClock;
     public static SoundManager instance = null;
 
     int times;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         if (instance == null)
             instance = this;
         else if (instance != this)
             Destroy(gameObject);
 
         DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
     }
 
     public void PlaySound(int i, int x)
     {
         switch (i)
         {
             case 1:
                 // SFX Alarm clock
                 audioSource.clip = AlarmClock;
                 times = x; // Is 3
                 while (times >= 0)
                 {
                     if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
                     {
                         audioSource.Play();
                         times--;
                     }
                 }
                 break;
         }
     }
 }

I hope someone can help me to find the mistake. But at this point I am starting to think it's a bug :/

I think you can have a work around. I am not sure if alarm clock is the scenes music?

or a sound SFX from a clock. But I would just instantiate a prefab that auto destroys itself after a few with a clip

Example:

 public AudioClip clip;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start ()
     {
         AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(clip, transform.position);
         Destroy(this.gameObject, 2.0f);
     }

This would come instantiated as a GameObject from prefab with a music clip. Can be called from any script.
