EPIC Fail... Geezuz... !! HDMI carries all the data not only for HD 1080p Picture, but for sound and other data too. If you are using HDMI, you do not need any other Video, Audio, or Optical cables. (All of these are now considered "old" technology.. even optical).
Connect it like this :
BLU-RAY to Sound decoder / Dolby / DTS Box / Media Controler.
TV to same.
Select the necessary source and you should see video. If you are not getting audio, it could be something as simple as speakers not selected, volume too low, etc.
A trickier problem though has to do with the sound format. Sometimes some sound decoders do not seem to detect the sound format (DTS, Dolby, THX, etc) and will play either have no sound at all, or a high pitched tone. Make sure that the sound format(s) your decoder supports are setup as defaults in your Blu-Ray player, and vice-versa.
Good luck and enjoy your awesome home theatre!
