If you've got the tuner's output routed through your sound card, mute
the input it uses.  FC saves the CURRENT sound levels when it shuts down
and restores them when it boots again.  Make sure you have the input
muted before you shut down, or you can remove either the "save" or
"restore" operation in /etc/modprobe.conf (you decide which is more
appropriate--I'd recommend the save-on-shutdown).

This is the line in /etc/modprobe.conf that saves the current levels
when you shut down:

remove sound-slot-0 {/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null \
2>&1 || :; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove \
sound-slot-0

And this is the one that restores the old values when you boot:

install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install \
sound-slot-0 && { /sbin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null \
2>&1 || :; }
