HDMI is always CAPABLE of sending the sound along with the picture back and forth in your Home Theater, but the equipment usually isn't programmed to do so...All the electronics companies are still fighting for supremacy over a software standard.
In the mean time, you might have to run optical or coaxial along with some of your HDMI cables to get the whole show to play on your system...And while HDMI is king, it may not always offer you the best picture over component.

It relies upon on how your receiver is desperate up and how HDMI is dealt with interior the receiver, if its a particularly new receiver then there could be no degradation of the video sign moving into the process the receiver, what I actual have stumbled on on some older receivers nonetheless is that the sound high quality is extra appropriate over optical whilst in comparison with HDMI yet on extra modern-day receivers you may get a 7.a million audio sign output that's extra appropriate that the 5.a million that optical is able to...

I would say the best way to set up a connection is this, run an HDMI, from the source, likely your cable or satellite box to your TV, and then an optical cable down to the stereo receiver. This way, you'll get that true surround sound via the optical cable, and can also watch the TV with the surround sound off, because the HDMI delivers sound as well, just only to the TV.

At the present time, the audio component of HDMI is the same as digital audio from coax or optical. If you have HDMI, you don't need to use the separate digital audio outputs. This is true unless you have an old AV receiver that does not accept HDMI; then you will need to use the optical or coax digital audio to connect the AV receiver. If you have an HDMI compatible receiver, feed the HDMI to it, and use its HDMI output to your TV. The receiver will extract the audio for your surround sound, and send the video to the TV.

You seem to be a little confused with the above interface standards.
All three provide high quality sound but the HDMI interface also provides video connections.
If you choose HDMI, then you have no need for the other two.
