I've deleted the original HBOGO app and downloaded the max app and there is still no sound on video. My tv still has sound on every other app and in the app but when I try to play a video there's nothing.

Unplug your TV device, wait a minute, and plug it back in again. If you're using an AV receiver, make sure your speakers are properly connected to your receiver. Make sure the volume on your TV is not low or muted. Try playing another show or movie to see if the issue is limited to a specific show or movie.

I had the same issue and found an EASY fix that was supposed to fix a totally different issue: 

Amazon Prime was giving a useless error "something went wrong". Many people reported that holding down the power button for 20 seconds will clear the cache on the Samsung smart TV's. I did this, and it fixed both issues.

My inital issue with HBO Max is that I would get no sound from the internal speakers or the external optical audio output. After the cache reset, I have sound in both modes.

I've had this same issue with other apps. For HBO max I have to reset the TV's network settings. If you are streaming of course.

Same thing is happening with my tv. I had to unplug the TV for a least 10 sec and always fix the problem. but Samsung need figure out the issue so I don't need to unplug my TV every time this issue happen.
