Years long TV and external audio issues making me go crazy

Jesus Christ help me! My English isn't good enough to pin point the problem and i'm THIS FUCKING CLOSE asking LG tech support for... well support.

I've got a LG tv to which i got a external (LG) surround speakers connected and i get audio cut offs all the time.

Imagine never hearing the Netflix complete "du dum" chime. Or when Link opens a treasure chest it plays only the last notes of the jingle. Or exiting an in game menu, start moving your character and the first few steps are silent. It's like it's buffering the sounds one by one. If there's silence it will start up again with a delay.

I don't know what the problem is, but this shit is with me since i bought my last LG tv and used a Sony soundbar on it. THE SAME FUCKING PROBLEMS FOR 10 GOD DAMN YEARS.

I can't take it anymore. I've used optical and ARC. I've plugged the optical from my PS4 to the sound system and then hdmi out the sound to the tv. I plugged the sound system by optical to the tv. Nothing fucking works!

Help me GAF, you're my only hope.

Edit: for a better example (and what made me rage right now)
I am playing Silent Hill 1. Started at the cafe. The moment i press start to pause and leave it for a few seconds i turn it off the game needs a few seconds to start playing audio. If it start to pause and immediately turn the pause off the game still plays sounds (footsteps).
It's like it needs to "restart" the audio.

Have you allready tried multiple different cables?

Had this issue with a Samsung soundbar, tried a few different cables, one, just worked. HDMI though, never had optical nor ARC perform well on the Ps4 with LG or Samsung, HDMI works better. It's like the HDMI handshake fails if you use ARC/Optical out towards them onwards to a HDMI connection, so I just skip those and just use HDMI all the way. :\
