QLED and The Frame TVsMy new Samsung 55" S95C OLED TV, experiences seemingly random 2-5 second drop outs of both video and audio while trying to play PlayStation 5. I have tried multiple certified 2.1 HDMI cables in multiple ports on my One Connect Box, and this has not changed the situation. I'm not alone on this either, as there are several people on Reddit who are also mentioning experiencing the same issue. I have tested the system and HDMI cables with a competitor's 4k 120hz television, and everything is fully functional there with no issues over 10+ hours of gameplay.
This happens with both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games, both at 4K and 1080p, and at 120hz or 60hz. Disabling HDCP on the PS5 seems to reduce the frequency with which this happens, but definitely does not entirely solve it and shouldn't be necessary regardless.
Using Device Care, my HDMI cables all pass the cable test, and Signal History shows no issues whatsoever even immediately following a drop out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I love the TV otherwise and would like to be able to keep it, but this issue is a deal breaker right now.
I am on version 1212 of the software, and these are my current connections to the One Connect Box:
HDMI 1: PlayStation 5
HDMI 3 (Arc): Roku Smart Soundbar
Ethernet Cable
Power Cable

QLED and The Frame TVsI checked my settings and they were already as you suggested. Since I've tried messing with them before, it was definitely worth double checking though.
Barring any changes, I will do the full reset in a few days and see where that takes me.

QLED and The Frame TVsI feel like I should mention again that I have tried multiple different HDMI 2.1 certified cables: the one included with my PlayStation 5, one from Anker, and one from Monoprice. A sixteen to thirty-two feet long fiber optic cable would be ridiculously overkill, as my PS5 is maybe 2 feet away from my One Connect Box. I'm currently using the 5.5' cable which came with the system, and again it should be noted, works perfectly fine on another TV and tests as perfect according to the S95C itself.
All four HDMI ports on the S95C are HDMI 2.1. The power cable comes out of the box about five inches from the HDMI ports, and there is realistically absolutely no way to keep them entirely separate.
Forgive the dust, but this is what my setup looks like. If I hide the cables behind my setup, they're definitely on top of one another. If I pull the cables forward and just deal with them being visible, they still almost intersect. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt Samsung would've designed it this way if that was expected to be a problem? I don't know. Either way, pulling the cables forward and making sure they had a tiny separation between them didn't seem to make any difference whatsoever. The only way I can think of to get more separation would be to buy a right angle adapter for the HDMI port.
Edit: I just purchased a 3.3ft fiber optic cable from FIBBR and a pair HDMI 2.1 certified right angle adapters from Cable Matters, which should be overkill as they claim to be sufficient for runs as long as 26ft. Both should arrive sometime tomorrow.

QLED and The Frame TVsInput Signal + is definitely on. HDR is on and looks great, I can even control the PlayStation 5 with my Samsung remote. The only problem is the drop outs.
I fully accept that the FIBBR cable probably won't be the best cable on the market, but it will absolutely rule out electromagnetic interference on the HDMI cable as a cause, and it only needs to carry a signal 3ft.
