what reciever do you have? i have never found a home theater reciever that did not take the audio from the hdmi connection, it is however sometimes a menu setting that can make the reciever ignore the hdmi audio in favor of another source. it has to take the hdmi audio in order to work with multichannel discs with most blueray players for example, and audio is part of the hdmi specifications and licensing for hdmi 1.2 or better
