If your PC is connected to a TV with HDMI you can use the TV audio output to connect to the HTS. The HTS has a coax digital audio input so you might need an optical to coax converter.
You can use an HDMI audio extractor to provide a 5.1 coax digital audio output that you can connect to the HTS. If you have other sources you want to connect to the HTS get an HDMI input selector with audio extraction so all of them will send digital surround to the HTS.
