    Samsung HT-P38: getting sound from cable box?

    I just got this 5.1 Samsung HT-P38 package and have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD cable box and a Samsung LTP227W 22" LCD HDTV. My problem is I can't get sound from the cable box to go through my 5.1 speakers when watching TV. How would I do this?

    My TV has component 1 and 2 and L/R audio ports next to those component ones. My cable box is connected via component 2 to my TV, and I ran the L/R audio from the cable box to my Samsung HT-P38 receiver instead of the TV. No sound. I think it has to do with the mode I'm using on my TV. I need to be on component 2 to watch TV, whereas the Samsung HT-P38 is hooked into component 1. (And yes, the speakers are setup properly as I do get sound when using the test feature on the Samsung HT-P38 menu.)

    Thanks!

      My setup:

      TV to cable box: component (video and L/R audio)
      Cable box to HT receiver: digital optical
      TV to HT receiver: component

      I get sound when I'm on Component 1 and watching DVDs, but nothing on Component 2 for TV. Is there a way to change the INPUT on the HT receiver so it knows digital optical? I'm totally confused!

          Fixed! I changed the input on the receiver to DIGITAL IN using the function button on the front of the receiver. Couldn't find out how on the remote, but whew.
