Can I play USB video audio through the HDMI arc port on my TV to my AV receiver?

Hello. I currently have a Panasonic TX-58HX800b and I'm watching content from a USB stick plugged into the TV. I was wondering if it was possible to use HDMI arc on the TV to output audio to an AV receiver, and use that connection to play back audio from video files on a USB stick plugged into the TV.

I know that my TV cannot pass through lossless audio because it's only got a ARC not eARC, but I was wondering if this would be possible with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound (ac-3). If anyone has any experience I'd really appreciate you helping me. Thanks.
