I've had issues before where the sound output format wasn't supported by the display (and even better, where the display would relay that format to a receiver that supported it, which made diagnosis a pain), and the Blu-ray wasn't automatically selecting compatible formats.
If you get sound in menu (which normally is not a multi speaker output format) but not in movie, I'd suspect that may be your issue.

After reading your post, I started searching around and read up on PCM and Bitstream audio outputs. My bluray player can send digital audio via PCM or Bitstream. It sends Bitstream by default. My current LG TV and an older TV that I no longer have had no problem decoding the signal. Only the newly purchased Sharp TV had the no-sound problem.
I returned the TV already. I suppose the problem could be that it was unable to decode the bistream signal. If that's the case, then letting the bluray player send PCM audio to the TV would have mixed the problem. Well, it's all speculation now, as the TV is gone.
Either way I wouldn't want a TV made in 2017 that has a problem like that.
This article does a good job explaining it:
