Can't say I've ever tried it, but I thought the optical out on the minijack would do 5.1?

Do you have digital coax in or only analog RCA/minijack inputs?

my sound system is quiet old, it has a huege amplifier, and everything and only takes RCA input, the sound quality on that speakers is AMAZING , retail price was about 5000 back in the day, but its half as old as me ... so no digital stuff whatshowever!! 😱 , I don't feel like spending 200+ for some ****** sound system if I already have a VERY DECENT Surround sound system , it takes input for Front/Rear/Center

Time to shop around for a most likely very expensive Digital-Analog Converter (DAC) that will take optical in, and output RCA analog.

Cheapest way would be buying a second-hand 5.1 receiver with pre-outs.

Good point, the only issue there is that may not have the sound output quality of the OP's 5000 euro system...

Therefore the pre-outs. Just use it as a DAC. Its bound to be as good as most $100 sound cards.
