Mmmmm Donuts...
Hello. I have an LG C9: https://www.amazon.com/LG-OLED55C9PUA-Alexa-Built-Ultra/dp/B07PTN79PG

I have this older LG Soundbar: https://www.lg.com/us/home-audio/lg-LSB306-speaker-sound-bar

I have all of my devices connected via HDMI into the TV's HDMI inputs. I run an optical sound from the TV to my soundbar. All of my audio works fine, EXCEPT for my Nintendo Switch. The Switch will at times just "drop" its sound, only to come back on when a new "audio" cue happens. For example, the sound works fine when fighting in a Super Smash Brothers battle but when the battle ends and it starts loading into another cutscene, the sounds goes quiet for a second or two. I'll eventually hear it, usually when a voiceline is basically halfway over.

This doesn't happen for anything else outputted by the TV into the soundbar. Xbox One X is fine, Chromecast is fine and even the native TV applications work just fine.

This issue does NOT happen when I have the audio just go out of the internal TV speakers. This LG support post has a bunch of similar experiences, not just for my TV or setup though: https://lgcommunity.us.com/discussion/462/lg-oled-55c7p-audio-dropouts

I've made sure to have pretty standard settings for my audio setup in the TV settings. Nothing advanced or changed, everything set to auto and no smart syncing or AI turned on. Am I just screwed here? I posted in this thread because I feel like this is an issue of the TV just not handling sound output properly.
