I think I know why this is doing this, but here is my problem.
I got an Isignia brand Blu-Ray player as a gift for christmas, it has Pandora and Netflix built in.
I have it connected to the TV with HDMI and I have the Audio cables going into my Sony home theater system, but it seems it does not pick up the audio from the new Blu-Ray Player. It worked before with my last DVD player (which was Sony Brand). So as it stands, no movies or music in surround sound... lame.
Is there anyway I can fix it? Or am I SOL?

Are your audio cables coming from the blu-ray or from the TV to the surround system?
-
When you say audio cables are you referring to the two channel, analog (white and red connectors)? Or are you using a digital coax or optical/toslink cable?
Also have you tried CD's? Or just blu-ray discs?

They go from the blu-ray to my surround system.

two channel (white and red) and I have tried DVDs. I get static from DVDs and no sound at all from Pandora.

I'm guessing this is the NS-WBRDVD3? That's the only Blu-Ray product I see on their website.
There's a couple things you can try my gut guess is that you can't use the analog audio out with the HDMI connection, if that's the case the only fix would be use an optical/toslink cable to connect to the AVR. I'm guessing you can test this by turning off the Blu-ray player unplugging the hdmi cable and then turning it on and putting in a CD. What I think is happening is the player is detecting the digital handshake on the HDMI with the display and shutting off the analog output options.
If I'm wrong about that there are a few things to check, make sure that the AVR input you're on is actually looking at the right jacks on the back. On many AVR's you can assign the inputs to the various sources so you want to make sure the AVR is looking for the signal in the right place.

I was thinking the output should be from the TV to the surround. The HDMI carries both sound and video to the tv.

I should have asked, but I'm working on the assumption that the Sony theater system is older and doesn't have an HDMI input/output. :)

Soulyss was right. I plugged in RCAs and restarted the BRDVD and it worked correctly.
Unfortunately, there are no controls on the BRDVD that control audio sources. I will try the toslink cable.

toslink cable did the trick! Thanks guys!
