I think I'll give this switch a try, since it looks to be able to force output a 5.1 signal through the optical port:

I Frankensteined a similar setup for years. Xbox one w/ pass through for cable box, running hdmi via cat 6 to the projector, and opticals from the Xbox and cable box to an older 7.1 receiver, since it’s hdmi was probably v1.0 but “it’s still a good receiver”. Finally bit the bullet and replaced the receiver when the right sale came along, and man, what a difference. Sound and picture are so much better with the receiver doing all the heavy lifting on the way to the projector. Wish I hadn’t waited so long. I want to watch every movie I have over again.
