Note that simply turning off the TV and turning it back on doesn't do much of anything as far as restarting. It's similar to pressing the power button on your phone to turn off the screen. Unplugging the TV or performing a "System restart" pretty much do the same thing.
I don't have any idea why you're losing sound, but try enabling "Fast TV start" under Settings->System->Power to see if it helps.
