If you turn on and off the game immediately after it as warmed up and the sound is still there, but then after turning it off and letting it cool off for a while the sound returns, that would likely be a temperature intermittent. Give the cables the first examination & also check all your power supply voltages.
If it's not the cables or power supply, I would then get the freeze mist out and spray components one at a time in the audio output chain to see if a specific component or area of the audio power amplifier is sensitive to the temperature and begins to work again.
