Am I able to connect my video cards HDMI to a surround sound receiver and than to my LCD TV?

The HDMI apparently carries true DTS surround sound. Can I connect the HDMI to the receiver and than to the TV, or would I connect the HDMI to the TV and use the coaxial or optical output to the receiver?|||You can connect it directly to your receiver then to your tv if the reciever has a HDMI input and output.
