On the LG make sure you just use HDMI 1, and enable the deep colour option. You must have done that already as it's the only way to get HDR from an external source.
I used to use Atmos with my XB1, but the XB1 implementation of Atmos isn't the best, and is buggy as hell, so stick with 7.1 uncompressed for the best stable sound.
Reading the reviews for the Amazon Basics cables there were people complaining about the quality control, how some cables were fine, yet some had HDCP / handshake issues. I was definitely seeing issues with mine, but only with the XB1X. If I used the same cable with PS4 Pro, even in 4K, it was ok.
Out of ideas, I bit the bullet and just bought a more expensive cable from Amazon;
[HDMI](XO Platinum 2m - HDMI Cable 2.0 18Gbps 4 K Ultra HD High Speed HDMI Cable Compatible with Apple Fire TV, TV, Xbox, PlayStation, Arc, 4K UHD 2160P HD Video 1080P, 3D, Ethernet, PS3, PS4, PC - Silver https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D5D8FK9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YfKWCbDGPJX43)
(It wasn't that exact item, but the same brand & cable. Mine was a multi pack version which is no longer on sale.)
All I can say is that it fixed my issues. I use the XB1X HDMI lead that it came with to go from my XB1X to my AVR, and then the XO cable I linked to go from my AVR to my LG C7.
My Amazon Basics cables link my Switch and PS4 Pro to my AVR without any issues.
Rather than buy a new HDMI do you know someone who could loan you an official MS HDMI lead to replace the Amazon Basics one from the AVR to your LG?
