Need help, totally thick when it comes to tvs.. Got a smart tv with scart and hdmi ports. When watching you tube scart to scart i have no surround sound, but do with normal tv. Thought if i bought a scart to hdmi converter it might work but it doesnt. Not technical minded, but slowly losing the will.. any ideas please

If one believes the Scart connector pinout, there is only stereo signal available there, nothing surround.

You need a Scart to Audio Out connector, Walmart has one for $4

Alabalcho is correct in that SCART only provides 2 channel audio.
Even if you got an adapter, you'd still only have the 2 channel..an adapter doesn't create more channels than from the source.
What receiver/amplifier are you using to get surround?
Does it have an option (DSP Effect) to create simulated surround?
When you say you watch Youtube 'SCART to SCART", what device are you using (make/model) ?

I use Scart with an Audio Out adapter and my surround sound works perfectly is all I'm saying...
