Sound comes through, but its the tv channel. No audio through the fire tv. I have a receiver, where my surround sound comes from. I read that I should connect the fire tv there, not hmdi port on the tv. What says you?

Connect Fire TV output HDMI to your surround reciever (Ex: HDMI 1 Input) then connect the reciever output to your TV. Then go to your Amazon Fire TV settings, under Display and Sound settings, check Dolby Digital Plus Automatic instead Default.
