The only solution I see above is buying a new av receiver + set of speakers, which I believe is far more expensive than buying a 5.1 home cinema with blue-ray/dvd player integrated. That is why I see the first option only as the last resort...
What about this?

It has HDMI LPMC 5.1 in (exactly what Nintendo Switch uses), and optical/analog out (that should fit in the blue-ray/dvd player). What I do not see is the splitter function, but there should exist an splitter with this same compatibility...
I later remember that there exists standalone LPCM decoders (like this https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-LPCM-Analog-Surround-Decoder/dp/B071KXR3G2), so if your system allows direct audio input you could try it ;)
This 7.1 HDMI surround sound decoder plus ASIO4ALL might do the trick on the super cheap. But the triangle rule is def in effect.

Good/Cheap/Easy ...pick two.
