I Have messed something up...
I am running SS 5.3.4 on MacOS 10.15.7. Its been a long time since i had to configure, but I obviousily did something wrong I configured it to send email and make sound when motion is detected. From attachment you can see that motion is being detected. BUT no sound (which works during test) I
The logs shews delays on a camera mounted on the garage which is at a distance

I can see from your screenshots that the "Inside Garage" camera has its Actions mode unarmed. In this state, you won't get any actions (emails, sounds) from this camera.
Click on the "A" indicator next to this camera in the Camera Info window, and set its Actions schedule to "Armed 24/7". Then, the next time there is motion, you should see that this turns red, and your Actions will be invoked.
The packet loss from the "House" camera seems to be happening quite frequently, which will cause dropouts in this camera's video feed. The usual cause of this is an unreliable network connection to the camera. But this will have no impact on how the other cameras function.

Duhhhhh I am lazy and didn't re-read the manual. Thought A was audio.. Fixed. Yeah the house camera is on the fringe of my net work being about 30 meters from router living on a Powerline ethernet connection

Great to hear it was just a simple fix!
