Question Is there any way to output to HDMI and Optical out at the same time ?

My PC has an RTX 2070 GPU that I run HDMI from to my A/V Receiver as a default device. I also use the optical output on my motherboard's I/O panel to run to a MiniDisc recorder that has an optical in.
I need to be able to output audio from the HDMI and Optical outputs on the PC simultaneously, basically listening to a playlist over the receiver and recording it to the MiniDisc.

From what I can tell Windows can't do that unless you have a Stereo Mix option on your sound card, which I don't have. I tried the VB cables, no luck. Does anyone know of any software that would allow this to function?
