Set audio output to HDMI and analogue. Then plugin headphones on your RPi to check whether you hear audio.
A second test is to disable audio pass-through at Settings -> System -> Audio.

Maybe new drivers increase efficiency, but don't solve the real problem. Your kodi.old.log has a couple of errors, which maybe affects playback indirectly.
You have a lot of add-ons, so I would try a fresh LE installation. Don't install add-ons, and disable audio pass-through at System -> Audio settings. If this vanilla installation runs without playback errors, add add-ons step-by-step to identify trouble makers.
I noticed that HiassofT was reading here, so I'm optimistic that things start rolling.
At similar issues people often blacklist a Linux driver, but that's just another dirty fix.
Finally to make this stick i'll finish off with adding it to autostart.sh:
echo "xrandr --output eDP1 --off && xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00" >> /storage/.config/autostart.sh
Selecting this HDMI mode at the LE video settings doesn't work?
This part of the log looks weird to me:

Especially m_displayNameExtra: Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) doesn't sounds right.
Disable Bluetooth at your UEFI settings, and try to boot LE again.
Would it be "a good idea" to change my home system away from Amlogic in regards to more easy support from you in the future?
My plan for 2020 was to change it to a system that can handle 4K playback since I just got a 4K TV.
An Intel NUC or an RPi 4B has much better Linux support, compared to Amlogic. They can both handle 4K.
Both have good support, but the RPi 4B has more sites of work until software will be optimized.
On reboot it finds the tar in the update folder and updates and crashes.

I'm getting a supply of SD cards tomorrow.
Good. Maybe your current microSD has errors, and the OS can't expand. I would do full check on it. If you use Windows, you can use this tool.
Is 9.1.002 supposed to update itself to 9.2.0?
No, you have to select the 9.2 branch at the LE settings menu.
If you use Etcher to write 9.1.002 to microSD, what happens when you boot the RPi 4B with it?
Read the thread I mentioned above. It contains several tricks you can try to finish booting.
The bottom line is my suggestion to install LE 9.1.002 first, because I think the settings wizard has trouble to start in LE 9.2.
Please try this, I still don't have feedback from the other user. If you're successful, you can update to LE 9.2 by GUI.
We had a nearly identical question a couple of days ago.
We have some threads like this, but I can't verify the fixes, because I'm an RPi 3B+ guy.
Someone said that audio config affects the issue. Read here.
Go into deeper research by using the search function of the forum, doc.
I have the YouTube add-on, too, and LE did the update to 6.5.2 automatically.
The setting mentioned by Klojum is at Settings -> System -> Addons.
But is a Python script able to run a bash script?
Yes, google it.
Can you describe that login process a little more? I'm pushing the power button on my RPi, and that's the whole story.
You could use /storage/.profile to execute commands at ssh login time.
