HDMI problem with the sound on the plasma tv

[HDMI22]

I hooked up my new HDMI cable to my cable box to my plasma tv. Now I don't have any sound. I have audio componets hooked up and it still doesn't work..

I need HELP!

Did you have an old HDMI cable? If not then if you are getting no sound at all (tv or audio system) then there may be a problem with the cable box. Try rebooting it. If you are getting sound on the tv but not on your audio system the cable box may be routing the audio only through the HDMI and not via digital output. You may be able to adjust this in the cable box menu. The analog stereo outputs usually work at all times.

I didn't have an HDMI before. I did try to adjust the TV and Cable menu and nothing. I'm going to try having the TV off when installing the HDMI cable. Thanks for your reply.

Dont know if you already did, have you set the box to output the sound as digital and to HDMI?
