Have you confirmed audio from the devices into a audio receiver?
Are you listening to only the audio through the TV or do you have a audio receiver?
Also if your source devices (Bluray player, cable box, sat receiver) has menu settings to select the audio over HDMI, make sure you have selected PCM instead of Bitstream.
While most of the time this is automatic, many source devices allow manual selection which remains after the selection.
Most TVs of that era cannot handle Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS etc) over HDMI, only PCM. PCM is the only audio format required by HDMI, the others are optional.
