spdif as in optical? No.
You could do that. What kind of TV service do you have? Cable, antennae, or satellite?
Spdif can be optical or coaxial. Most TVs have some type of spdif output these days. Your TV manual says you have coaxial spdif output. It should be just to the left of the 3.5mm TRS output according to the diagram.
For $100 you could get a half decent chinese external DAC on ebay that might improve audio quality noticeably. That could be hooked up to your TVs spdif output on one end (as an input) and your speakers on the other end (as an output). Although it wouldn't offer as much benefit as an audio card or a good external DAC (which cost $600-1,200 unfortunately).
