@Cristmas,
Maybe study this link below and just see if any of the available options may apply… if none of them are open to you, then you most likely need to rethink your existing hardware in order to connect Sonos to your PC/Other devices:

So you are trying to convert a digital signal to analogue, only to have the Beam digitise it?

I would like a solution to use my beam and the hel2 on my pc but I don't know how to do.

Thanks all for answers

It looks like the Hel2 isn’t suited to connect to a Beam. You need an HDMI-ARC or optical connection for a Beam. Most PC’s do not have an HDMI-ARC or optical. What connections does your PC have?

In case you haven't realized, it's pretty clear that what you wish to do is impossible.

HDMI on GPU and MOBO, and optical on MOBO.
