Outside of buying an actual AVR are there any solutions that allow you to extract or correctly downmix and output the audio signal from an HDMI path without ARC?

My situation is that the portable projector I use for outdoor movies doesn't downmix the the 5.1 signal very well (or at all) nor does it have ARC so I'm trying to figure out how to get a correctly down mixed signal into the left and right channels of my Bluesound amp that powers the outdoor speakers without needing to buy another AVR.

I literally just saw the review for this product right after I posted this, but I'm still not sure if it requires ARC to access and down mix the audio signal. HDMI is annoying.
