normally the connection should be PLAYER(RPI) -> AV/SOUNDSYSTEM -> TV.

usually TVs doesn't handle nonPCM streams on input. they do on output because of DVBT/C standards. if your 5.1 soundsystem is not AV set (so you don't have more (HDMI) inputs and HDMI TV out), just speakers with input & decoder, then unfortunately there is no "nice" way.

I have two Samsung TVs and both are working like this. It is even written in documentation.

I have an av set (i dont know that if is that what i mean) it is a system (radio /dvd/...) that has input spdif and other inputs but not outputs. (the 5.1 setup it is old.) So if i can pass it through tv can i use one of hdmi spliters that i get video and audio in spdif?
