You should get both audio and video from the HDMI cable. However, if your TV audio output is connected to an A/V receiver, some TVs will not pass HDMI audio input through to their optical audio outputs, in which case you would need to use your TV's speakers.

Check the audio settings in the ATV and your TV and make sure everything is set correctly (including the volume). If you still can't find the problem, try a different HDMI cable.

I'm not familiar with your Denon specifically, but my Onkyo A/V amp has a settings menu for each input. Check the settings for the HDMI input you have the ATV connected to and make sure they are correct for your TV.

Also, as I mentioned previously, you could connect your ATV back to your TV directly with the HDMI cable, then connect the optical audio output on the ATV to an optical audio input on your Denon, then make sure it is selected when you watch the ATV to get digital sound.
