Unplugged everything and reboot, nothing. Checked for loose connections, nothing. Replaced cable box with new one, nothing.

I checked the settings menu to make sure its set to external speakers and even with that setting enabled I still can't hear anything. I also did a sound check calibration and all of the speakers work fine... just not with cable. I'm just about to give up at this point as I don't know where else to troubleshoot. If anyone can come up with an explanation as to what is going on I'd love to hear it and I would certainly appreciate the help.

I have a fiber optic cable that goes from the TV to the audio receiver. Without it, I couldn't hear the cable sound, since cable doesn't go through my receiver . Does your system have/need this cable?
