Why is (e)ARC and CEC so bad?
I have two speakers connected via HDMI ARC to my LG TV. They worked great until I connected a PC to another HDMI port. Since then my TV thinks my speakers are a video input device and expects a video signal.
A few days later it randomly started working again, until I connected the PC again. Now it's f*cked for good as it seems.
Resetting the TV, changing every god damn setting in the world and swearing at it haven't worked. I'm gonna go back to fucking SPDIF and RCA.

ARC or not, it is still an HDMI connection, and is still a High-Definition Multimedia Interface. Unlike speakers, PC connects in a very active/aggressive manner, requesting from the TV to renegotiate HDMI links, and much more. Also, PC to a TV+HDMI Soundbar isn't exactly the default operation mode, so the bugs may happen.
Get an HDMI CEC-less Adapter for your PC connection.

Assuming that the speakers are connected to the dedicated HDMI ARC port, did you try this path?:
Spoiler1. Disable all the ARC/eARC/CEC/Simplink/whtvr
2. Clear/reset the ARC/eARC HDMI port in both:
a) through Home Dashboard / Home Hub / Inputs menu
-clear/reset/rename the visible HDMI input card.b) through Settings→Universal Control Settings / Device Connector()
-Manage Settings
-select the ARC/eARC HDMI port
-delete/reset the saved device setup.
2. Unplug TV+soundbar from wall power for about a minute.
3. Reconnect only soundbar→TV ARC/eARC.
4. Turn TV and soundbar on.
5. Enable Simplink/HDMI-CEC.
6. Enable eARC if available.
9. Set Sound Out to HDMI ARC/eARC.
10. Confirm soundbar is recognized correctly.
11. Only then reconnect the PC to a non-ARC HDMI input. -

I totally don't hate my corporate boring ass life in my corporate boring ass car.

you dont need to have an electric BMW to have a midife crisis behind the steering wheel, diesel BMW's do that just fine as well...
or there's that one hilareous case where a TV show was following along with the dutch police as they find a BMW and a mercedes streetracing, and they find out they are reps from competing companies duking it out on the streets in front of the venue they're supposed to be attending a business event at.

We're talking about apple here.
Obviously it costs extra.
