The first time it disappeared I wasn't doing anything. It was on, but I'd
walked away for a few hours--but I knew there was sound before I walked away,
then when I got back on, I realized there was no sound.

Second time, I can't be positive, but I think there was no sound when I
booted up.

As for malware, I think I'm okay--I use Spyware Doctor to clean up once a day.
