Can't get 5.1 sound from my blu ray

[Plyhammer]

I have a sony blu ray model bds-300 hooked up to a 1080 flat screen tv via an HDMI. The blu Ray works well with the tv but I can't get the sound to come through my 5.1 speakers. The only sound I am getting is through the tv. I feel like I have tried all settings. Help!!!

How are the speakers hooked up to the TV? Check the TV manual and make sure it can output 5.1 out to whatever connection you are using.
You may be able to route the Blu Ray player to the receiver and from there to the TV for video.
