How could I go about connecting the following in order to use my Home Theatre's speakers with both my computer AND my switch? (Info on devices used in Desc.)

How could I go about connecting the following in order to use my Home Theatre's speakers with both my computer AND my switch? (Info on devices used in Desc.)

Samsung HT-F5500 Home theatre system

Sony KDL-46W5500 TV

Desktop PC

Nintendo Switch

Hello. I have been trying to wrap my head around how to approach this because the above TV does *not* have HDMI-ARC, but I would like to be able to use the speakers on everything.

The HTS has one Out port, and a bunch of In ports. I have tried to connect the Optical to the TV, but due to the limitations of the HTS, I think it can only connect to Devices rather than the TV.

I have attached a picture of the manual I found online.

I would appreciate any help and advice that anyone could offer. Thank you!

P.S.
Before anyone mentions that this HTS has a bluetooth connection as well, I have two issues with it.

A- connecting to Windows via bluetooth is janky and audio often distorts, usually every 5 minutes.

B- connecting to Switch means I am limited to 2 controllers when I use it which I think to me is the only drawback, but still a big one nonetheless.
