You can of course extract digital audio via HDMI.

Do TVs have HDMI *outputs*?

Many support Audio Return Channel - basically passing digital audio
back through one of the HDMI's inputs. So AV amps etc can receive the
audio of whatever the TV is displaying.

Would all, or only some, of the HDMI sockets support this? What device

Normally only some or one - quite often it will be labelled with ARC or
similar.

You may also need to enable the device control over HDMI as well to get
it working (IIRC its called something like "Simlink" on my LG).

would be needed to convert the audio into analogue to feed into an input
of an 'ordinary' hi-fi amplifier?

You can get boxes that will extract the audio from HDMI or
SPDIF/Optical... e.g:
