Laptop Issue - Optical Output Via HDMI?

[admin_exported]

Hi guys, recently got a new laptop and (to my dismay) it doesnt have an optical out. I wanted to connect it directly to my AVI ADM9's - is this possible via HDMI with some kind of adaptor? At the moment i am having to feed the HDMI output through my TV and get the optical output from there - not ideal as the TV has to be kept on the relevant HDMI channel when playing music. Any suggestions welcome - thanks in advance!

Does the headphone socket not double up as an optical out? Which model laptop is it?

This out of your headphone Jack with this, or alternatively this from the HDMI Clicky
