What have the Foxsat and BD been connected to before? - although as far as I'm aware you can't disable the sound from them over HDMI?.

I'm presuming you've tried turning the volume up? - as the volume is probably independent of the other inputs (and could be turned right down).
I'm also presuming you're using just the TV, and no external sound system?.

Have you got anything plugged into the headphone output of the TV? Unplug that or the TV volume control will not work on the TV's speakers.

Go into the menus of the Humax and Sony and check both the AUDIO OUT is set to PCM or LPCM (same thing just different letters ).

If it is set to MULTICHANNEL or similar then the TV might not be able to interpret the audio stream it's getting properly.

The Foxsat and BD were connected to a Yamaha soundbar which is disconnected at the moment. You are right I am using, or trying to use, only TV sound.

Do you get sound from the internal tuner of the TV? If not then is it possible that when you were using the soundbar you set the TV speakers to permanently off and have forgotten to turn them back on?

How were they connected to the soundbar? - just by HDMI?.

Try temporarily connecting it again, and see if you get sound through the soundbar?.

In that case I suspect that the audio settings are screwed somewhere.

Was the soundbar one of those clever ones that creates virtual rear speakers to give the impression you've got a full 5.1 surround system by any chance? If so then it could well have been able to deal with a multi channel output from the Humax/Sony. The TV might only be able to deal with plain stereo. So the output format on those two would be the first thing to check.

My tv has a menu option for audio, Built-in speakers OR external speakers. If i select the latter the tv speakers switch off.
Make sure your on the right setting.
