If the coax audio out is a digital spdif audio out, you will be able to use a cheap coax to optical digital audio converter.
If your tv doesn’t support multichannel audio passthrough (that means audio from devices connected via hdmi to the tv only will passthrough stereo), I would consider buying a new tv or at least using a hdmi switch with audioextractor to optical tislink connection.
