I use my PC to drive a TV for gaming and all I have to do is switch the sound output in Windows from Speakers to TV and I'm good to go. No need for splitters and multiple cables to get sound to both devices. The only thing I would change is to have Windows support outputting audio to both devices regardless, but keeping the settings menu open to the right page isn't really an inconvenience. All of my consoles work the same way: just run a single HDMI cable for each one. The counter point might be that my TV would have "bad audio." But I don't think so (at least not at the volumes I prefer), and even if it did, it supports audio out to connect the TV audio to a separate hi-fi.
