I have an xmen 6-player board. Sound works great when you start it up. then about 45 minutes later, it quits. turning the pcb off then on again fixes it.

I have read about the issues with the caps on the custom chip. Before I prep for surgery, has anyone successfully fixed that issue? Or should I just try to sell it as is?
 
First, you are correct with the custom sound chip possibly being bad. There are several articles by the way of google that should help you out. Second, have you done all of the simple stuff first? IE...check to make sure there are no shorts in wires, all voltages are correct? Just trying to help here.

I appreciate the help.

No apparent shorts. All voltages are correct...

Sound works, but only for a bit...
