Annoying that there is no digital audio out on your TV. Even more annoying that the digital audio out of your Dtv box is coaxial and the toshiba's digital in is optical (bad luck there).
But ... it is what it is so ... I reckon you need a converter such as:
You didn't provide a model number for the LG, but check to see if it has a digital audio output, either optical or RCA. Your Toshiba has a digital optical input.

The model number is 32LS3450
But it just has HDMI 1 and 2
Since your TV doesn't seem to have any audio outputs you will need to connect an audio cable from the DTV box to the Toshiba for audio.
You may need a converter depending on what audio connections your DTV box has. If it has digital audio out and the Toshiba doesn't then you will need a DAC. If the DTV box only has HDMI out then you will need an HDMI switcher with audio extraction to provide an audio output.

Are you trying to get video to your TV or audio from your TV to the Toshiba?
I'm trying to be able to watch cable but with surround sound
If the DVD/Home Theater has it, use an SP/Dif Optical cable, which works quite well for sound. Connect your cable out from your cable box to the cable in to the HT, then run a cable from the HT to the monitor/TV. 😀
BTW...if your TV was made after 2006, it SHOULD have an SP/DIF port for Optical Cable in as well. It will look like a small square socket with a rubber "gate" on it. 😀
