I reported a bug about the sound issue (https://issues.guix.info/issue/35599). 
However, it seems the problem was related to a bug with the installer 
(https://issues.guix.info/issue/35541). After working around the installer 
issue as described in the manual 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Guided-Graphical-Installation.html#Guided-Graphical-Installation),
 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.
