o.k....

make sure you're selecting the input (that the HDMI "in" is going to on the receiver) selected, and turn it up, if you can hear it, then make sure you turn down the sound on the t.v..... but your HDMI "out" on the receiver should only be sending a video signal to the t.v. anyways.

According to the review on Cnet, your system does not allow audio to pass through HDMI (meaning the HTIB won't play audio). Sounds like you need to run Toslink (optical) from your BD player to your HTIB and have your player set to bitstream.

edit: I take it the list of equipment in your sig is a wish-list, as I don't see an Onkyo HTIB listed?
