Plugging Roku stick into HiFi instead of TV?

Hi.

We currently have our Roku stick (Streaming Stick+, 3810X) plugged into the back of our TV. Then an optical cable goes into our HiFi system.

We used to have a different video source that could plug into the HiFi system through HDMI and then run to the TV.

It would be nice to finally get surround sound - the HiFi is setup for it, but the TV does not support it, so the HiFi only gets a stereo signal from the TV (that's at least my uneducated guess).

Would it work to plug the Roku stick into the HiFi first, or are there reasons why this might not work?

Thanks!

It should work.  It certainly can't hurt to try.
