'NVIDIA Shield - USB to HDMI

SHORT QUESTION: Will a usb(male) to hdmi(female) adaptor work with NVIDIA Sheild?

Full Question: I am trying to connect my surround sound hifi with my nvidia shield separately to my TV. Would a usb to hdmi work on the nvidia shield to pass the audio through. Any issues with drivers?

End Goal: To connect 4k to TV and separate 5.1 audio to hifi box

Currently Tried: HDMI splitter - it only chooses the lowest audio output which is the TV (2.0) not the required 5.1

Notes: Hifi box supports hdmi passthrough but only at 1080p Hifi box (2012 pioneer, INPUTS: HDMI, OPTICAL COAXIAL)
