Or you could even use your old receiver with the new TV: TV digital optical output > $13 digital to analog converter > RCA input on receiver.
Which model cartridge, stylus and speakers?
Not sure this is what you need, but some people have reported this working well with MiSTeR: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_4KxnIHyLlZSoX
Here is the one I use, works fine for the toslink out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_k1oRDbFA92XG8
I will try this, if I was you. I own this TV, and I use my Beyerdymanic Headzone over Toslink cable. The TV speakers still work with the Toslink cable plugged in to the TV. I never need to remove the Toslink cable. When I use the Headzone, I just use the remote to disable the TV speakers and use the sound system input. This makes my Beyerdymanic Headzone use surround sound over DTS and Dolby Digital. I really think this will work for you. The Sennheiser RS 170 plugged into the device over 3.5mm headphone jace or RCA cable and then the Toslink cable to TV. You then can use the TV speakers and the RS 170 at the same time if you like. I really hope this helps you out.
Most Modern TVs have a Optical Audio Out but to use that would require a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter).
Someone has already linked to one DAC but here is another one -
PROZOR 192KHz Digital to Analog Audio Converter DAC Digital SPDIF Optical to Analog L/R RCA Converter Toslink Optical - $14
https://www.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0/
In the TV Menus, set the Optical Output to PCM. Then connect the Optical Out of the TV to the Optical In of the DAC, then use RCA Cables to connect the Output of the DAC to one of the Inputs on the Amp/Receiver. Input 1, Input 2, Input 3. To play make sure the Amp/Receiver is set to the Input you are using.
Not that hard, not that expensive.
You don't need an amplifier or audio receiver. The Rockville has a built in amplifier.
This TV doesn't have an analog audio output. You would need to convert the digital audio output to analog with a device like this Prozor
https://smile.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0
You would plug the output of the Prozor into the Yamaha or directly into the Rockville.
To the Yamaha and then to the Rockville you would need two of these
https://smile.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Meters/dp/B000068O17
To the Rockville directly you would need one of these
https://smile.amazon.com/JSAUX-Shielded-Gold-Plated-Smartphones-Speakers/dp/B07D8M5DML
Plugging directly into the Rockville means you would have to use the TV remote to change the volume of the music. Not a huge deal but it's another thing to handle.
Trying to figure how to convert spdif to 3.5 correctly. I recently got a new motherboard for my pc, Asus rog strix b650e-f but to my surprise the board doesn't have a spdif port like my last one. So i thought no biggie I still can connect my samsung soundbar with bluetooth. Problem is that it keeps cutting in and out or completely disconnecting and I'm not sure if that an issue with the motherboard or the soundbar. I have this prozor dac and connected everything but I'm hearing no sound. So I was wondering if I'm connecting the wires wrong or if I need a whole new dac or new speakers.
Connect your Chromecast to one of the TV’s HDMI inputs.
Connect your TV’s optical audio output to a basic optical digital to analog converter (DAC) such as this one.
And run RCA from the DAC to your receiver.
I would recommend returning these speakers if you can. They are simply too small to give you decent sound in a living room setup like you'd be using with a TV... they are computer desktop speakers (and not good ones at that). And they don't have an optical input, which is definitely the best and most convenient way to connect your speakers to a TV.
Send them back, and save up a little extra money so you can get the Neumi BS5P or (if the Neumis aren't available in your country) the Edifier R1280DB instead.
If that's not an option... you could buy a cheap digital to analog converter like this one. You would go S/PDIF from the TV to the DAC, and then RCA to the speakers. This would solve the lip sync delay, but they would not solve the bigger issue of these speakers being unfit for the job.
Very rare for a tv to have speaker outputs. There should be outputs for AV Amplifer or you can get a cheap dac from Amazon to convert to line ouput for a more vintage amplifier.
Schiit Sys to manually switch between turntable and TV or there are lower cost RCA switches.
TV optical output > DAC > Schiit Sys > Sonos Amp > Passive speakers.
Turntable > phono preamp > Schiit Sys > Sonos Amp > Passive speakers.
Your speakers are OK for the music but not designed to sing through. You could damage them. The same with your receiver. I realize your not interested in a separate PA for singing through but that's what I recommend. Your setup is good for the music but not for singing through.
If you were an audio expert and familiar with the concept of gain staging and the operation of a limiter you might be able to experiment with the settings to set it up properly. But I know these thing and even I wouldn't take the risk of damaging your speakers from someone else screaming into the mic or accidentally dropping one. That's all it might take to blow your speakers.
The Shure model number is for the receiver only. I'm assuming you have a couple wireless mics to go with them as well.
IMO the JBL KX200 is way too complicated for home karaoke use. That's more for a professional install where it's more set it and forget it. All the settings require drilling down through menus and submenus. Instead of the KX200 I recommend a small mixer with physical knobs like the Mackie profxv3. But there are digital mixers you can control wirelessly through a phone or tablet. The Behringer XR-12 or Soundcraft Ui12 are pro level mixers that won't break the bank.
Your audio extractor is probably OK. Try changing the audio settings on your Firestick to PCM and see if that fixes the problem. I've used this audio extractor just fine but I was going to a PA https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019T0WTV4
But if it still doesn't work using the optical output on the TV works well https://smile.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0
You need something like this to convert the optical output on the TV to use with the mixer.
https://smile.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Digital-Converter-Toslink-Optical/dp/B07142SV1D
Then a cable like this to plug it into the mixer
https://smile.amazon.com/Splitter-Smartphone-Computer-Speakers-Amplifier/dp/B0829VWPSB?th=1
It's an LG OLED CX 65, I'd use a digital to analog converter to connect to the TV.
But if you say it would not be a big improvement over the TV Speakers, then there's no point. As the speakers are massive I thought they would be much better than the TV ones. :(
Edit: Typo
The 3.5 jack is just OKish. I highly recommend picking up one of these. Output is soo much better. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ and some of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N45U3PO
I think I’ll try the 1/4” to RCA instead since with the XLR to RCA it wouldn’t be a balanced connection at both ends so there’s seemingly no benefit.
You bring up good points regarding optical signals. On a side note, I’m also doing research into upgrading to a small 4K monitor or TV for PS5. With a TV there would be an optical input available as an option, (as opposed to only 3.5mm on Monitor).
If I used something like this in conjunction with the Rolls mixer would there be any benefit? Was curious tbh but I’m not keen on the idea of powering another little box to go with the Rolls I’m already using.
Optical out works just fine on the PS4 and PS4 Pro. If you don't have an amp with optical in just get a cheap DAC like maybe this one: https://www.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0/
You need to convert the TV output to analog then. Or get a new receiver with a DAC for the TV and RCA inputs for the turntable. What you're asking for doesn't exist. Sound has to be converted to analog to play through speakers. So you need to figure that out. Get a DAC. Something like this will do this.

Once this is figured out, you can get a passive stereo preamp like Schiit Sys or possibly a switch like this. Becare, this one should work. But others may add hum.

If you just want to split the sound without a switch you could try a Y-connector. But this may cause problems like humming.
