I suspect you have this right. I have a Mac Mini hooked to a surround
sound receiver via the digital optical out and it always takes a moment
for the receiver to figure out what kind of signal is being sent before
it wakes up and starts putting sound out the speakers. Maybe newer
decoders are faster at this. What happens if you have some app running
making noise all the time. You could try something like
http://github.com/downloads/jonshea/Noisy/Noisy.zip
which makes white/pink/brown noise, and turn the volume way down.

I have a new Apple TV four. When Apple TV is connected via HDMI to our TV set
and the audio goes to the TV speakers, which are awful, there is no problem
with voiceover. When the sound bar that we have is connected to the TV via
digital optical cable, and there is audio coming through it on a more or less
steady basis, such as when playing the TV show or something from Apple Music,
and you Errol around or use the remote and here voiceover, there is also no
problem. It does not cut out. When, however, there is no audio except for
voiceover, there is a cut out problem. You can use the remote or arrow around
with a Bluetooth keyboard, and the first several syllables or words are missed.
So there is some kind of delay happening somewhere apparently within the sound
bar, which causes the first few syllables of voiceover to be missed when audio
isn't already being played. I hope that made sense. I had this problem before
with a second generation TV and surround sound system, where things were going
through an AV receiver and the same problem happened. What is it with this
audio cut out thing? How are people getting around this? My sound bar is
klipsch, supposed to be a good one. We try this on a different older TV, and
the same thing happen. So it's not something with our TV outputs. I would say
it is the sound bar, except I had the same problem before I'll be at with an
older AppleTV.
