I've connected my laptop to my TV with an HDMI to DVI cable so that I can watch movies.

Now I need to connect the sound.

I have a 5.1 surround connected to a receiver. So I just need a way of connecting my laptop to the receiver via RCA.
My laptop has a standard mic port and headphone port. What kind of cable do I need to get? Note that I want to be able to get dolby or DTS sound as the movies are all in dolby or DTS.

Thanks in advance.

On you laptop use your headphone jack mini 1/8 to RCA jack it will not be 5.1 unless your laptop has a 5.1 sound card with a output for 5.1

Music, movies, and games in virtual surround on headphones or full surround on 5.1 or 7.1 speakers.

surround sound for Dolby® Digital EX1 as well as DTS-ES?1 supported DVD movies; any DirectSound3D1 games and CMSS 3D1 virtualized 7.1 stereo music.
