make a scale drawing of the room …you will be doing drywall repair no way around it ..you will need access room to drill through the studs,so one can pass the wires through

I have done this by running wires through my basement. If you are on the ground floor, and over a basement or crawlspace, just drill small holes straight down, along the baseboard, and drop wires down. These holes are very hard to see, and keep the wiring mess off your floor.
From an upstairs floor, do the same but drill up into the attic instead, and mount speakers high.
If you really want to run wires through walls, you will need a “fish tape”. This is a very stiff wire, wound onto a reel, that you can use to push wires through holes in your wall. It does take a bit of experience (or practice) to make it work.
Also – something different – in sources, is a bedroom ceiling home theater setup, that lets you keep all wiring in one place, behind your bed.
