Trying to connect my pc to my LG DH6530T Home theater

but one of my friends faced a lot of problems doing that,
so I need to make sure before I purchase a sound card,

It's a bit questionable if your receiver actually supports surround sound through the optical input since I've had a similar issue with a friend's system where his Home theater could play back DVD's and Blu-ray in surround sound but lacked multichannel input, as is the case with you having only stereo input."
I need a conformation that my LG DH6530T can support 5.1 input through optic cable, if it was connected from pc sound card spdif output to the optic input in the back of my DVD via an optic cable
would I get 5.1? Or is it going to be limited to 2.0 stereo?
Talked to LG they can't confirm.
Searching the manual, I found this:
When they mention 5.1 they say 5.1(2.1,2.0) so no true 5.1 then?
Regarding sound card, I was told I should be getting a sound card that can encode DTS - Dolby digital live DDL,
something like this
https://www.newegg.com/p/23H-001X-00067
or any card that can encode DTS - DDL otherwise I will get 2.0,
therefore I can't use cheap external USB with spdif output i think.
what are some cheap cards that can do this?
thanks.
