Sending audio from Samsung TV to analog speakers

[joechloe004]

I have a 2017 Samsung UM32M5300AF Smart TV that I want to connect to my 10+ year old Bose speakers, which I am sure is Analog.
I have researched and the TV puts out a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal. I have read where I need a DAC (Digital to Analog) converter. Samsung told me I could use the HDMI 2 ARC port to connect to an ARC or Digital speaker.
Is there any way to make it work with the RCA and 3MM jack inputs that I have?

Your Bose speakers are a Bose home theater system not just speakers right?
You will need a DAC. If the TV can't be set to output PCM stereo then you need one that is 5.1 compatible You may have to turn the optical output on, the TV speakers off, and change the audio output type to get it working.
No reason to use HDMI-ARC. Won't sound better and you lose an HDMI input.
