Affordable solution for connecting HDTV audio to a 5.1 surround sound system

You don't have to spend a fortune on an expensive modern sound system to get great 5.1 sound from your HDTV.

I just found out today that (i) almost all optical outputs are stereo only, so pretending to get 5.1 from an optical input (even with the input bitstream) won't work. Even worse (which is often the case) when the input signal is PCM, meaning stereo only. All I need is to get the middle channel i.e. 3.1 on BluRay discs. Nothing I could do would produce…
