LOTR has been doing some weird sound issues the past year. When it boots up, you hear the speakers make that startup pop noise. But 90% of the time the game doesn't have any sound at all. Sometimes if I turn it off and back on, the sound will work fine. Sometimes it will stay on for hours. I leave the game on thinking some caps somewhere are getting dried out and need to charge, but I come back hour later and start a game (after sound was working) and then the sound isn't working again.
