Sounds like a mixer problems. See if relevant mixer channels are muted or have low volume.

 It's if the soundcard doesn't working it won't work no upon unmouting, volumingup etc. it only work if I logon into windows and then to fedora again (even the beep upon startup is sounded via the pc speaker and not the soundcard)

What was your name again?

 

This is a tricky one.  The problem is that the linux driver isn't initializing the plug-and-play aspect of the sound chip.  You boot windows, that driver does initialize the plug-and-play, so with just a "soft" reboot the card is already initialized, you boot linux, and the driver can talk to the sound chip fine.  On a cold boot the linux driver doesn't init the card right, and so you get no sound.  That sound about like what is happening?

 Troubleshooting this is not so easy, but if you could put the output of a couple commands into a reply, I'll see what I can find.  First, be root, and run "lspci"  put what that outputs into your reply.  Then run the command "lsmod" and put the output into the reply.  Do this both with the sound working and with it not working. It might just be a module that isn't loading from the cold boot that you can force to load on boot.  It might be something more complex, in any case, give me the output from those couple of commands and I'll see if I can help you further.
