Yes there are cables you will find them on Amazon, just search for HDMI audio extraction and you will find boxes that split the audio into RCA or SPDIF.

You plug the Chromecast into the input on the box then connect the output to the TV along with the audio cables and it should work, the only thing to watch for is HDCP, if your TV didn't support that you might run into issues rendering the Chromecast useless. Probably time for a new TV if so as everything uses HDCP these days.
