Help With Metronome Please

Seems such a simple thing.  Go to metronome settings, choose an audio output, apply and you should be good to go.  I cannot get my metronome to play in my Platinum program.  I have tried every possible output port that is available, to no avail.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks

Yes - it could be something as simple as toggling on and off the audio engine

Is it on? Set to 'during recording', or 'playback', or both?

I could be wrong but im guessing it's the FX over ride (in the Mix module). It typically happens when changing metronome settings or sometimes even changing metronome output sources.
 
Been a known issue for a few years now-

  Looked at Cakewalk Content / Sonar Platinum / Metronome File that was located in the same directory as the rest of the Cakewalk files.

FWIW, the files in that folder are not used by SONAR.

I understand there is a duplicate set of files in Cakewalk Content but SONAR uses the metronome files in the path I provided above not the ones in Cakewalk Content. If they are not in your user directory use the process I posted to re-install the files or copy them from the Cakewalk Content folder.

Cactus et al,
 
Thank you for taking time for my problem.  I did insert a buss track and put its output to Master.  I have un-muted every track, done the FX over ride toggling and still no sound.  I went back to my Sonar Producer and the metronome works fine.  I upgraded to Platinum about 8 months ago and have never gotten the metronome to work there.  When I need a metronome I have to go back to my Producer program.
 
Cactus, just curious.  You said put the output to Master, but your screen shot above shows output to Metronome?

Tecknot,
 
Thank you for your explanation.  Sorry  for my ignorance, I don't know the difference between creating a new bus and naming it Metronome as you instruct, and what I did by going to "Insert" choosing "new stereo bus" and then naming that new bus Metronome and designating its output to Master?
 
Appreciate your help.

Yeah, you got it.  It's the way you would create a new bus and all, but Catus's picture is referring to the setting in the Metronome Preferences and not the metronome bus/track itself.  As you may be aware, you can choose any bus or output available in the Mtrnm's Preferences and then from there you can choose any available output from within Mtrnm's bus output.  So, under Preferences choose the Metronome bus and then in the actual Metronome bus/track's output choose the Master bus or route it to your preferred output (say like an alternate hardware output like the headphones if your hardware interface has such an output).
 
Does that cover it?
 
I just thought of something...  If you are routing your Metronome Bus to the Master Bus, what is the output of the Master Bus?
 
Kind regards,

@dappa1 - what are you referring to?  There's no problem in SONAR regarding the Metronome routing.

The Master Bus is usually routed to the first pair of hardware outputs. The basic template shipped with SONAR Platinum should have the Master, Preview and Metronome buses already defined.
