Output to Samsung TV

[peter maddison]

I hope somebody can help me with this problem.

I have an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 which has 3 video outputs; 1 VGA , 1 DVI & 
1 HDMI. My monitor is connected via the VGA.
What I am trying to do is connect my 51" Samsung Series 4 (PS51E450A1W) 
via the HDMI.
I have done that by using a HDMI cable, that was the easy part. The hard 
part is SOUND.

How do I get sound to the TV.
I have tried using the standard audio output which you connect the 
speakers to but that does not work.
Yes, there is a SPDIF output next to the HDMI output on the MoBo BUT 
there is NO SPDIF INPUT on the TV, so HOW do I get sound to the TV???

With my previous MoBo, ASUS M3A76CM, I did have it connected to the TV 
via the DVI to HDMI. How I got the sound to the TV was by using the 
output which is normally used for the speakers.

I did buy a SPDIF cable before I checked the TV to see that there is 
ONLY SPDIF OUTPUT. I have seen something on eBay 
<http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Optical-SPDIF-Coaxial-Digital-to-RCA-L-R-Analog-Audio-Converter-with-3-5mm-Jack-/301489588581?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item46322e0965> 
to convert SPDIF digital to analog but want to be sure that it will work 
connecting to the audio in next to the HDMI input on the TV.

Thanks
Pete
