Did you change the input of the tv to the input the receiver is connected to? Is the receiver connected to the tv? Best thing to do is get the Sony receiver owners manual and go through the connection steps to for connecting a tv. Many things could be wrong.

Have you connected the sound bar to the optical in on the back of your TV to optical out on your receiver. Then you connect everything else to the connections on your TV. I did it that way and everything works through the sound bar.

I apologize for the error. I looked at my TV and you go optical out on TV and optical in to the sound bar. You then connect your cable from the Uverse box to the HDMI on your TV. And all other connections go to your TV. Myself have had problems with HDMI on Uverse receiver and had to switch to component cables. Mine is connected that way and all devices connected to the TV works through my sound bar.

One more thing I forgot to mention. You have to go to setting on your TV and change the audio to external speakers. It is probably set to use the internal speakers on the TV.
