2. Make sure the red and white cables is plugged in snuggly at both TV and receiver ends.
3. My TV offers a digital audio out (optical in my case) consult your manual to see if yours offers the same. Another digital audio connection can be SPDIF.
4. Finally consult your receiver manual on connecting your TV to the receiver, there may be some settings on your receiver that need to be enabled/disabled. Or there may be some other input that needs to be utilized.

I know these are out there in the left field but this is all I got.

Tried all of these suggestions, the cables are hooked correctly, the manuals for the TV and receiver do not give any additional info besides "Plug this here and that there". Here's hoping someone else has a suggestion...
