I even copied it in all the potential directories that look like they could house bios files for emulators as it refused to work. And provided both, all upper and all lower case in case it needs some combination of files.

But now I have run completely out of ideas. As you can see from the output at the very least the scph1001.bin should be correct in every way for this emulator according to:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#lr-pcsx_rearmed_1

I have tried restarting emulation station and full reboots. I am completely at my wits end. Well, I don't have full redundancy of every combination in each folder. But I am kinda ready to give up now.

@noBios what does the verbose log say?

Maybe retroarch.cfg file is broken. Did you use the save mechanism in the retroarch menu? Please add more info about your system: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Thanks!
Sort of resolved.

I went through the verbose log.
Found:

[WARN] SYSTEM DIR is empty, assume CONTENT DIR /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Silent Bomber (USA).cue
[INFO] Environ SYSTEM_DIRECTORY: "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/".
no BIOS files found.

Okay, odd, but lets just try putting a bios file next to the rom...

If I put the bios files in the same folder as the ROM the bios gets found and performance improves as expected. Aka: Audio gets more consistent and it does no longer randomly just hang.

This might not explain why it doesn't find the bios where it is supposed to be according to the docs. but then again who knows what I messed up when I set this up a few years ago. Point is the information from the log was accurate and helpful.

This log to be precise:
/dev/shm/runcommand.log

Previously I have only looked at:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt
