New TV advice. Turk step inside

Cool, I am going to paint my family room in a few weeks and will need to remove my current TV off the wall. I figure it's a perfect time to upgrade to a bigger TV and then move the 47" to our master bedroom.
You were right. I picked up a 65" LG 4K yesterday and it worked great for my family room.
I went with this model - https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/uk7700
so
i did the XBR 930e... from crutchfield. im super happy with my decision. the tv is bright and awesome looking.
i went crutchfield because no sales tax/shipping and they price match for 60 days after purchase... so if it drops, im covered.
thanks to TCG for explaining hdmi arc dealio to me though... that helped a lot for me to understand.
as far as the tv goes, i love it... it has a sony voice remote that is super intuitive and really awesome to work with. it's an android tv so it's super simple to navigate and customize imo... i set it up with my phone in a few minutes. it's hardwired to my router as well so it runs well.
it knows how to turn on/off my surround receiver and adjusts volume through it without me having done anything. i couldn't be happier.
welp. im about to stab someone over this tv. i rarely watch tv, and when i do, i just want it to FUCKING WORK.
google/android/sony have rolled out like 3 updates since i've gotten it, and it seems as if though i, and every other sony/android tv owner is a fucking beta tester.
complete bullshit. so this sound thing was somehow fixed by sony last time through their customer service- which i do have to say was fantastic- quick answer, not "turn off turn on again" bullshit.
but now, google home USED TO be able to hear me go "hey google turn the tv on" boom tv on... or "hey google play _____ on youtube on the tv" and boom now it works. welp, android's latest update, whoever decided to just fucking ditch this functionality.
NOW i don't have sound, fucking again, it says my sony receiver is an approved model, it's connected the exact way it's always been and now no sound again. the fucked up part is the tv "ding" sounds play through my surround speakers, but nothing else, and the tv says it doesn't see a receiver.
the most recent update did a few things where the menu's are much quicker, more intuitive and smoother to use, but fuck, id rather have the "old way" back.
the issue seems to stem from google/android tv and sony basically doing this to eachother on who needs to fix shit.

It’s within the limitations of Roku’s own voice commands (through their remote or mobile app). I haven’t tried because I found Google Home and assistant to not offer much value for how glitchy and wrong it was most of the time.

HAI GOOGOOGOGLLE TURNRNRNN ON THE TEEE VEEEEE
"okay turning on the living room tv"
:coolio:
for my surround sound conundrum, i pulled the tv from the wall and ran a fiber optic cable, the arc hdmi hookup still hookeded up and sound wasn't loud.
100 on the scale was- have a normal converstaion which isn't goin to fuckin' cut it.
