You are expected to use the audio passthrough option of your TV.
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ TV →[optical]→ receiver without HDMI
If that is not feasible, then you may consider an HDMI Audio Extractor.
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ HDMI Audio Extractor →[HDMI]→ TV
↘︎[optical]→ receiver without HDMI
For receivers with HDMI, there is good reason to avoid optical, as it limits the audio options.
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ AV receiver with video passthrough →[HDMI]→ TV
or
Apple TV →[HDMI]→ TV with audio passthrough over HDMI ARC →[HDMI ARC]→ receiver
