I want to hear sound from my Tv using my standalone radio.

All the TV output HDMIs are being used.

My inputs on my radio for TV/Dbs are coaxial.

What parts do I need? I figure I will at least need a HDMI splitter.

Thanks.

If your TV has an optical (TOSlink) audio output, there are inexpensive
little converters that will process an optical audio input and provide
electrical (coax) digital output. You'll need one of those converters
and the cables to connect the devices. Suggest you put the search
phrase "toslink to coax audio converter" into your favorite search
engine and you'll see what I'm talking about. If your TV has a
headphone jack, there are also converters to change analog audio signals
to digital (coax) signals. Hard to believe that a TV won't have an
audio output jack in some format.

Does the TV have a 1/8" headphone jack? If so, just use a 1/8" phone
plug to RCA cable. Then, you might need to change the settings for audio
output.

No, it does not.

Do you think this would work?

Do you mean coax or RCA jack? Both are coaxial.

It would, assuming your TV has a TOSlink audio output.

There are adapters for almost everything. If you're only outputs are,
or if you want to use, the HDMI, yes a splitter, and, deepending on the
answer to my question above, an HDMI to RCA adapter, or HDMI to co-ax
adapter (I forget t he official name)

YOu can probably download the manuals for both the tv and the radio.
Even if you have the printed copy, the pdf is easier to search.

You can also output the tv sound to an FM transmitter, and then you can
listen to the audio at any FM radio in the house. That's what I do
with my PC's sound. It even reaches out to the yard, the car, and
maybe 3 blocks away. I hope that's not illegal. I chose a frequency
that was vacant, but I learned later that sometimes it has a high school
radio station 3 or 4 hours a day, 36 miles from here.

Yes, it does.

What transmitter are you using?

The actual ad for each of them is gone. but here are the summaries.

First I bought a cheap one but its signal didn't seem to reach even to
my bedroom. Only $11, but Amazon took it back.

Then i got this one. It was about $50, but when I looked a year later
it was about 100. It may have gone down again. It has several ads
under several brand names but they all have the controls in the same
places and all do the same thing.

This looks like the one I bought, and yes, now it's $70, still higher
but not 100. I rmemeber, at the time I thought maybe because of Corona,
all the churches were having people stay in their cars instead of coming
inside, so there was a shortage. Two power mode: 0.5W and 0.1W
https://www.amazon.com/Transmitter-Stereo-Station-Service-Supermarket/dp/B0B251XK2R/ref=sr_1_5

This one seems like the same thing but somehow it's $136.
Same size, 0.1 or 0.5 watts.
https://www.amazon.com/Transmitter-Transmitters-Parking-Supermarket-Conference/dp/B09XDRCDNZ/ref=sr_1_3

Tbhis one seems like the same thing, 0.5 Watt or 0.1 Watt, but with a
assortment of antennas and some cable, and it's reached $269
https://www.amazon.com/Bundle-Deal-Fail-Safe-Transmitter-Rangemax/dp/B01A7Q3A44/ref=sr_1_2_sspa

One of those for sale earlier, but none of these, had an additional
input in the back, one I wouldn't have used, and that would account for
$10 more dollars but it was 40 more. I just use a 3.5mm stereio plug,
and the radio says the signal is indeed in stereo.

If you buy one be sure to save the instruction. I've had sort power
failures with no trouble, but after a year, one of them caused it to
start but with different settings, and I coudln't figure out how to
reset it. I googled all over the place, NEVER found an actual manual
but found an Amazon ad that went into enough detail. Another reason
Amazon is such a success. Walmart, HomeDepot only give a couple lines
of description, enough to know what it is if you already know what it
is. And the competitors have had 20 years to imitate Amazon and they
only do it a little bit.

Now that you got me looking, Ebay has lots of them, some below $40.
