Digital optical audio cable can carry data to decoder-enabled devices in a few formats; Dolby DTS is one of many such formats. Some of these can carry surround sound. Besides, optical is digital, and standard sound card output is analog.

hook up your ps3 to your television (with HDMI cable) and depending on what kind of television you have, you need to send the audio out to the sound system. I used an optical cable for the best quality sound. Now, no matter what is hooked up to your television, it will go through your sound system.
Yes, you can probably just hook it up to your TV. All TVs are designed to work with and without wires. We haven't advanced that far in technology that we are eliminating wires completely.
