Welcome to the Home Theater Forum, Scott.

What kind of TV do you have? I have never seen a tv with an optical input, optical out yes, in sounds not right to me. Also what is your receiver, does it not have optical inputs?

I would suggest if your cable box is equiped with DVI out, that you connect the Optical cable to the receiver, unless it doesn't have an optical input. Then connect the analog audio cables from the cable box to the tv, since the tv is only equiped with 2 stereo speakers. Then of course connect the DVI to HDMI from the box to the TV.
