Youll need something which does optical as well as HDMI which wont be cheap.

i dont think you can hook up all three unless your reciever had 3 optical or digital coaxals but on my 360 i bought a new a/v cable with an optical output on it forlike20 or 30 bucksand it came with a 4 foot optical cable with you connect to your reciever and that will give you dolby digital 5.1 6.1 7.1 9.1 what ever your reciever can handle.

be sure to have a relatively high quality/new reciever or you'll get audio lag through the optical cable

You can use the analog sound cables as well to get 5.1. The sound will not be as crispy as digital but still very good.
