Answer 1

Are you using an HDMI cable?

Answer 2

It matters what connection you are using

Component-check to see of all 5 cables are connected, you may only have your 3 component video connections connected, but not the two audio connections, also, make sure you haven't mixed the red video connection, and your red audio connection aren't switched

HDMI-The audio wires in the HDMI cable could be bad, check with another HDMI cable, also, some cable companies (assuming rogers is your local cable company) don't program for the HDMI port, talk to your cable company for more information

Answer 3

you probably have the RCA audio cables switched

Answer 4

The boxes often have an own volume setting.. Look after the volume control on the box remote control

Answer 5

If you are using the HDMI connection, check the settings on your cable box.  Digital audio may be directed to another port by default, (usually the IR), and not the HDMI output.  The actual menu where you can find this varies by the STB manufacturer.
