How to connect my Chromecast to my sound system?

How to connect my chromecast to my sound system.

Hey there guys, hoping one of you have some answers for me. Just got a free sound system (pretty sweet) and enjoying it a lot. Problem is there is only one available HDMI pass-through for it and it's being occupied by my PS4. There is optical out at a 3.5mm AUX port. Any way I can stream shows to my chromecast and get it to play audio through the sound system?

By using an HDMI-to-audio adapter. Amazon.com: aoeyoo® HDMI to HDMI + Analog Audio Converter / Digital to Analog 3.5mm Stereo Audio ...: Electronics is $18 - the cheapest one I've found. (The audio output is a headphone jack, so you'll probably need a cable to go from 3.5mm stereo to RCA or 3.5mm stereo, depending on what your Aux input connector is.)
