Without more information, my first guess is the problem lies either with: worn speakers or a loose wire connection, or if you have external speakers, a loose connection with either the USB plug or speaker wires. Perhaps even a rusted USB port. That is because if the audio is working sometimes, there appears to be nothing wrong with your software. But as I mentioned, without information it is my best guess.
