Is the sound for your device on? And also the TV?? If the sound is off on your device, it won't come through the TV...

DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED!!!

I just thought of something. The video i'm writing of is one i took with razr. I should try a website video to see if there is sound. It may be only the ones i take. Then it's still a problem but narrower scope. I' ll be back.

I found my answer. I had put an HDMI extension cable with female-female connector between my razr phone HDMI cable and the TV's HDMI. I tried using only the phone cable to TV and I got sound with my video. Hope this helps someone else.

PS. That same HDMI extension and connector work fine with my laptop. I always travel with it for my laptop to watch Netflix at hotels.
