I just bought the top end Samsung SUHD Series 9000 and I can't get audio back to my receiver with HDMI ARC. They say to need to pull an additional optical. Is there a solution>

My 5 year old Samsung 52" TV supports it.
But so does my newer Samsung surround system. Works fine for me .
Although my older Denon system does not support it.
Now the wife can use one remote to control all functions on the TV and Surround system.
