Doesn't look like your amp supports 5.1 DTS anyway, so my original suggestion seems the best idea.

Yeah

Throw it in the skip and go and buy something decent

Yeah, like this:

Supports Dolby Digital on optical but not DTS. One presumes this covers both 2.0 and 5.1 DD, so I guess there is a limited value in connecting via optical (for Dolby Digital Blueray movies and games).

Anyway short answer, yes that switch box will work. 

Long answer, you can try Sams suggestion for free and if not happy then buy the switcher!

I agree, but what insane manufacturer would offer an optical in but only support DPL sound?

Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

You're right - Endor is a forest moon, not a planet.

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense.
