So you could get a cheap TOSlink converter box and run the audio into your pc that way.

Yeah, that won't work directly, something like this may work to convert it.
Not sure your location but something like this would work.

Something like this should work with the speakers you just bought him. With this device you plug it into the xbox one with a optical digital audio cable and your speakers into this device. Now the audio will go directly from the xbox to the speakers without having to go through the controller. If you still have issues with audio going inoand out then I think the problem is with the speakers.
Just check whether the TV has a headphone socket. I'd be really surprised not to find one.
If not, you'll need one of these.
Looking at it on the official Dell product page suggests you'll need the DAC I talked about because it uses a 3.5mm "line-in" (headphone) connection.
I don't live in the US, but this on Amazon is the kind of thing I'm talking about. Basically the Xbox plugs into the port marked "Toslink" and you'll connect the output to the soundbar or what ever you get. It's important to note that the DAC needs it's own power though which is a downside to this method.
Get an optical splitter and an optical to headphone converter. Run the optical out from the TV o the optical splitter. Run one optical out to the soundbar, run the other optical out to the headphone converter. You'll probably want to add a headphone amp as well.
One of these then connect the headphone output to the Sonos 5 input

I dunno, I'm not much of an audiophile, I just find that using any headphones is better for horror games than your TV's speakers. On my last playthrough, I used the PlayStation Gold headset plugged with the 3.5mm jack into an adapter that plugged into the optical port. Gave me crystal clear audio. Wasn't planning on it at first, but for some reason, my PS2's AV port created bad noise that seemed to vary based on how much white was in the image. Go figure.
For the audio level, you can buy an adapter that adds a volume dial, it's pretty cheap. It looks like this, and you can probably find one at your local electronics store.
Well... the 3rd part you'd want to get is female 3.5mm like this . The one in the post you linked is male to plug into a monitor.
Do you have anything to control the volume if you do it this way? Just something that would bother me.
edit: searched toslink to 3.5mm and stuff like this came up. No need for RCA to 3.5mm if there's already 3.5mm port. Looks like the power cable is USB, too. Maybe you can just plug into the PS4 and save a power outlet on your surge protector.
I think I have the right setup in mind now but I am a noob at this.
I think I will use a optical splitter like in this link which connects to my tv.

Both of the outputs work at the same time so I can hook up my soundbar to one output.
Then use a converter to hook to the other output and hook up the buttkicker to the headphone jack.
The link to this device is below.

Would that work?
That sounds like a terrible solution. Two options...
this might work, but I haven't personally used an adapter like that https://www.amazon.com/Easyday-Digital-Converter-Optical-Headphone/dp/B00NJCCAKY/
You could try the digital output of the TV with this: https://www.amazon.com/Easyday-Digital-Converter-Optical-Headphone/dp/B00NJCCAKY

?
