You will actually need a device that connects from your USB or FW port to your stereo via whatever connection you use anyway. I.E. a FW or USB to optical Cox, etc converter.
just figure out what surround sound connection you use on your stereo, and google for a Firewire to whatever-you-have converter that works with OSX.
M-Audio makes a couple of products, but I havne't heard the greatest reviews about them.
For your TV, it depends entirely on your TV connection. There are DVI to Component adapters such as this one:

It depends entirely on your setup, and without much information, it's hard to make a recommendation.
