After booting, there’s no sound. But if I turn on the MM (mute) speakers in AlsaMixer, it works! The problem is, when I turn off the power or restart, it doesn’t work.
Please guide me until the sound works completely!
Please provide your questions or comments.
Hello and welcome @ Fedora.
What you should do first is give info about your computer, otherwise the people who want to help you don’t know how to help you, they need info.
Please open a terminal, and no it is not as scary as you might think.
Type: sudo dnf install inxi
followed by your password.
The program inxi will now be installed. When that is done type:
inxi -Fzxx (look out for the capital letter F)
You will now get a lot of info scrolling over the terminal window.
Click and hold the left-mouse-button just in front of the first i in inxi, drag the mouse with pressed left-mouse-button all the way to the end of the output so all the text gets marked. Let go of the left-mouse-button and click with the right one on the selected text, then left click on copy.
Return to this web page and click on Reply. A new window is opened with a toolbar at the top.
In that toolbar you left click on the </> button after which some lines of text show up, the middle one is blue.
Right click that blue line and click on Paste.
Now your copied text from the terminal will be placed in your answer.
When you want to write some more info then please do that all the way at the end of the inxi output, after the ``` symbols.
Thank you.

I searched on the internet and found several web pages where people mention this issue, it seems to be a common problem. However the pages I found did not have a real solution to the issue, so I am not much of a help here.
I hope somebody else will read your post and chip in. So guys, when you read this please give some help. Thanks.
usually, one of these two services should restore the previous alsa state…
systemctl status alsa-state.service alsa-restore.service
the state is written to the file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
Unmute the output then
ls -l /var/lib/alsa/
sudo cp -p /var/lib/alsa/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state_backup
sudo /sbin/alsactl store
ls -l /var/lib/alsa/
the time stamp of file asound.state should show the current time.
Now check if something has changed
diff -u /var/lib/alsa/asound.state_backup /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
