Please help, Need help setting up surround sound to xbox 360?

I have a rca 5.1 surround sound system, A 42 inch toshiba tv and a Original xbox 360. What i want to do is connect the xbox 360 to my surround sound and i was told the best way to do that is to use a hdmi cable and a optical cable. So i have my hdmi cable plugged into my xbox and into the back of my tv, And i have the optical cable plugged into the back of the surround sound and into my tv. I've been working on this for at least a week and i got told this would for sure make it work, Please help /: /:

    Have you gone into the system settings of the console and changed it to 5.1 surround?

    EDIT: Well if nobody else can help you out here I would suggest asking over at the official Xbox forums where community members and official support staff can give you more suggestions and solutions: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/f/...
