Brand of TV?
Model number of TV?
Band and model of "surround system"?
Unless everyone is "clairvoyant" they have no information as to what you have and what it will take to get your setup to work..
Two HDMI jacks, I suspect it most likely does not have the HDMI-ARC which is a newer way of extracting audio out of the TV.. Not all "surround systems" will accept HDMI-ARC directly and may need an intermediate "Interface" that converts that to a different audio output that your surround may need..
Some TVs have optical digital audio outputs, some don't.
Very old TVs sometimes had analog audio on RCA jacks or stereo 1/8" headphone jacks.. Some had digital audio on coax..
Some TVs have ZERO audio output connections..
You could have a surround that takes RCA analog only, Optical digital input.. WE don't know.. To many possibilities to give a good answer without at least model numbers..
