  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.

Not sure what you are trying to tell me or help with my situation.  They were where BRainbow said they were and appeared to be the logical file used by Platinum since it was in the same sub directory as all the other Platinum files.  Sorry I do not understand your point.
 
Thanks

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.

Scook,
 
Thank you for your help.  I followed your instructions and went thru the following path:  Program Files / Cakewalk / Sonar Platinum / Cakewalk User Data / Sonar Platinum / Metronome / WAV files (were there)
 
I also did the SHIFT key while starting Sonar.
 
Also after all that did the toggle FX and audio engine buttons again.  Still no metronome when turning it on in either playback or record mode and tracks not muted.
 
Appreciate your patience and help.

OK I don't think this was mentioned. 
Is there a metronome buss? 
If not insert a new buss in the buss pane and name it metronome. Make sure it outputs to you interface or Master. 
 
Now go to the metronome dialog and make sure this is the output. 
Don't forget to click apply after making changes.

 
 
I have no clue why toggling the effects bypass works but every time I have your issue, which has been many,, it has worked Note. I always do this ( toggle effects bypass)  on my MASTER buss bin. 

Further to Johnny's post, if the metronome is correctly routed to a bus, check the output of that bus (or just have it go out to the Master) and it's status (muted??).  I would guess it's the metronome's bus output.  Just a guess.
 
Kind regards,

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?

Hey Van, what Catus is describing is creating a new bus called "Metronome" and them making sure that the new bus' output is sent to the Master or main output.  While I am at it, what is the volume (dbs) setting for the Mtrnm beats?  And what is the 'Record Count-in' in the upper left corner?  Just giving it a shot.
 
Kind regards,

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.

Its been a problem in Sonar ever since
