TV's speakers as a central speaker (via HDMI) in a surround system

[bzvz]

I'm trying to put together a cheap HTPC using an AMD Zacate E350 APU based motherboard (probably ASRock E350M1). Now, I was wondering would it be possible to connect my TV with my PC trough HDMI cable and use my TV's speakers as a central speaker in a surround system, while connecting rest of my speakers trough line out?

For what it's worth, I plan on using Windows 7.

Thank you.

technically it may be possible if your tv takse a 3.5mm input and you you connect it to a center 3.5mm output on your pc however i would snt suggest doing it. i would go with a regular speaker system instead.

If you connect with HDMI you will not have an audio input to connect the center out of the PC to the TV. Use a real center speaker as the TV speakers will not balance with the rest of the surround system and sound pretty bad anyway.
