Hooking up new TV.. Getting sound from smart TV to receiver, confused

Getting a new smart TV with netflix app built in.

Currently feeding netflix video and audio from bluray player to receiver then video to TV, also same thing from cable box

Want to use netflix app on new TV and feed audio from it to receiver

Is it smart enough to use the same HDMI cable to feed audio from new TV to receiver when watching netflix and audio and video from receiver when watching cable? Or do I need 2 HDMI cables, one input on receiver when watching cable to get audio and video and the other when watching netflix to get audio to receiver?

Thanks
