I reported a bug about the sound issue (https://issues.guix.info/issue/3559=
9). However, it seems the problem was related to a bug with the installer (=
https://issues.guix.info/issue/35541). After working around the installer i=
ssue as described in the manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/e=
n/html_node/Guided-Graphical-Installation.html#Guided-Graphical-Installatio=
n), I get sound every time I restart the machine. I will try for a few more=
 days, and see if I can close the bug I reported.
