Connect surround sound to DirecTV genie box

So I just got the DirecTV genie mini box and it only has the hdmi port on the back of it
I have sort of an order surround sound system I guess (RCA brand) and before I had the RCA connectors plugged into the back of the older DirecTV box and then into the back of the surround sound
Now obviously the genie box doesn’t have ports for the rca connectors. I know there’s a way around this whether it be to go from the tv itself to the surround sound or what
Plz dumb it down for me

Don't get HDMI to RCA. The genie mini has digital out. The orange RCA and toslink. Get this... amazon dac
Leave HDMI in TV. Put orange coaxial or toslink from box to the DAC input. then RCA from dac to receiver.
