A TV absolutely will not passthrough high definition audio formats using the TOSlink-out. Doesn't work, I've tried. I ran into a similar situation with my dad. He has a Kenwood 5.1 home theatre receiver that does not have any HDMI inputs, and wanted to run his Xbox 360 using HDMI but also have the added benefit of the receiver providing the true Dolby Digital 5.1 track. We tried a TOSlink cable from his Sharp Aquos to the Kenwood, but to no avail.
I was about five minutes away from going and buying him a new receiver before we tried running the HDMI to the TV and hacking apart the HDAV cable for the Xbox 360 so we could run the TOSlink to the receiver, then set up his Harmony 650 to automatically change the sources as appropriate.
Perhaps a similar configuration is possible for you, what sort of device are you trying to set up here?
