I suppose it might be good to better understand your connections and configuration - i.e., how you have routed audio from the television to your home cinema receiver, and how that's configured to play what comes in.
Do you require the television's audio to be played through your system (if I interpreted your issue correctly - if not, sorry about that)? For my configuration, the TV is actually not putting out and audio . . . everything I need - from digital cable, DVD, CD, DVR, Playstation 2, etc. - is soon to be routed through the receiver component and out to its connected speakers, for example.
Hi Wade, thanks for replying. I finally gave in and bought a scart adapter with an input/output switch and of all damn things... it flipping worked!
My pesky scarts on the telly were blissfully sitting there not allowing anything to actually go out. I suppose I should have waited until I'd tried the adapter before posting, so sorry about that!
Problem solved. I now have sound from the telly through the system.
I wonder if all problems can be solved like this?
Er...
I need to make lots of money, what connections do I need?
