I have a new macbook pro that only has usb c pots and one headphone jack. I have a home theater setup and i use a amplifier. my amplifier had 3 options for audio hdmi audio, rca audio and coax audio. From my testing with the amplifier rca an coax are the only way i should be connecting to my amplifier as i get more options with my amplifier. I am runing my speakers in a 5.1 config. I was wondering what is better for audio rca or coax and should i go from usb c or my headphone jack.

Dont use your headphone jack and dont use rca unless its litterally a 5.1 rca setup. if the coax is Digital coax that would be your best choice for a 5.1 connection from your computer, and you must find a usb adapter for it to get that digital 5.1 as the headphone jack only outputs stereo

Is there something wrong with getting surround sound from the HDMI connection?
