You're already getting audio from the TV over HDMI. Your headphones aren't designed to play actual 5.1/7.1 positional audio based on the fact that they use processing to replicate it. That's the whole "virtual surround" part of it. In order to play full 5.1/7.1 audio as it was originally recorded or designed to be reproduced, you'd need a set of headphones built for it. There are a few different manufacturers out there who make them. I can't guarantee that a dedicated sound card is going to help you.

I think the HDMI only outputs from my pc even if the tv hdmi port is arc capable. I know that the headphones are virtual and not true surround but the effect works really well when the movie is 5.1 on pc .on stereo movies sounds echoe and fake

If you got a soundcard with optical input you could connect that to the TV optical output.
I think you would still need some kind of program running to be able to get that to the headphones though. That program would have to have very low latency so you don't lose sync with the picture.
