The Sonos go into low power mode after a few minutes, mine seem to wake fairly quickly. It might be that the Sonos and your TV are taking a bit of time to handshake adding to that necessary delay.
As to volume make sure you have no Sonos volume limit set, other than that the volume setting on the Sonos should be able to enable full volume. Keep in mind the numbers shown are only to make it easier for you to set them to a desired volume and are otherwise meaningless.
My TVs have no internal volume control when set to pass the audio to my Sonos, you might confirm that applies to your TV too.
Room physics has a significant impact on subwoofer effectiveness. Moving one or both SUB’s will have an impact that will be positive or negative.

Thank you.
Volume limit is off. For the song I sent an example I use it at 100% volume and you can talk normally.
And yes, my tv settings have the Pass Through ON.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the system doesn't actually offer enough power. Having practically the same volume as a Bose 600 with a 5" sub is almost disappointing. I just want to be 100% sure to deal with this.

Im happy with the subs. I use both bass settings at 0. I could add bass if I have more overall volume. For what I have now they are more than enough.
Mine also takes a few seconds to turn on, when I turn on the TV it takes 3-5 seconds before the sound is activated on my Ultra and thus the entire system.
As for the volume, there are many factors that come into play, when streaming movies from Apple TV 4K, I experience really good sound on Apple TV+, Disney+ and HBO, but on Viaplay the sound is terrible and here I have to turn it up quite a bit. In other words, the quality/volume depends on where you stream from. (Maybe SONOS is more sensitive than others)
With music there is also a big difference, the same applies here, but there are also other things that come into play. Where do you stream from, your phone, Apple TV or the TV itself and how. Airplay is undoubtedly best over your phone as the sound is degraded by Bluetooth. Personally, I thought the sound was best when I stream directly from Apple TV.
There are also settings in your SONOS App that can improve the audio experience, especially by choosing Full or Background when playing music, and adjusting how loud your Era300s play. I have mine as Background with +2.
A funny thing I found out a few days ago is that if you turn off speech enhancement, music plays much louder from your Arc Ultra.
Might be time to play from Apple TV for 15 minutes, then submit a diagnostic and call Sonos support, they can see internal data we users can't see.

I only use HDMI.
I also use my Era 300s at -2 and full.
Speech enhancement always off.
The system unfortunately is weak in power for most sources (this is my conclusion). When paying Atmos content listening to Apple Music is “enough”.

Didnt know this could be done.
