What caps do you want to replace for what reason? It's true that electrolytic capacitors dry out and that the oxide coating gets reduces, if a device isn't used for a long time. If it's used regularly, they could dry out, too, but not that fast . Again, what makes you think that the issue is caused by dry out capacitors? Why isn't it happening all the times, if the capacitors are dried out? IMO there's no evidence that the capacitors could be the cause for the trouble. And again, capacitors on the sound card for what function? Replacing caps based on guessing, related on half-truths?
