DIY HDMI ARC to 5.1 analogue decoder (Futech FT003-V1.0) question?

[sim_tcr]

Hello,

I saw this product https://futechaudios.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52
iIt has HDMI (ARC), coaxial, optical inputs and 5.1 analogue output.

I was wondering, if I can connect Xbox series X to tv via HDMI (non ARC port) and connect this device to TV via HDMI ARC port. In tv audio settings, set output as HDMI ARC and I can get the 5.1 analogue output from the device.

Is this doable?
With this, can I still control the volume of analogue 5.1 with tv remote?

Thanks.

No it will not work this way ,yu can connect xbox to any hdmi port,then you havevto take optical out from tv which is multi channel surround nd feed it into futech but remembr it will process dolby digital only no dolby digital plus,its costly though,i would suggest yu can search for an old av reciever with 5.1 output anslog in this range
