Can't Fix The Metronome - Solved ! (Thanks to Noel)

Don't get me wrong.  I realize this is one of the basic things.  I'm pushing 60 (yeah, I used that as an out....).

For the life of me, I can't get the metronome to work.  Audio is what I want.  Midi metronome is a last resort.

It sets up a Metronome track fine.  I've enabled play met on record and playback.  Nothing.

What is the proper way to test this?
Thank you all....

You are using the latest release of Cakewalk by BandLab?
Metronome should work out of the box assuming that audio playback is working. Are you using ASIO or WASAPI?
Click the metronome icon on the toolbar and verify it is set up like this - see screenshot.
Make sure the output is pointing to a valid bus in your project. By default its assigned to the "Metronome" bus.

Hi -  I just test this out ( I think this is what you want):

(even thought I'm a bit late)

Open a new project (basic)

Set your audio to none (it will change once you start recording)

Turn you input fader down

Go to the page for preferences (as shown by Noel above)

Click the "playback box", "count in" to "0" measures

set you tempo

Arm your track for record, type "r" on keyboard.  Recording should start.  Let this record for about 4 and 1/2 measures.  Then stop.

Go to your track and select measure 1 thru 4, set your loop (for 4 measures)

Once loop selected, hit play.   Transport should loop through the 4 measures and the "Metronome"  should be clicking

 

If this is not what you are trying to accomplish - oops, sorry

Not what I'm looking for, but thank you, all the same.

Yes, Noel.  I re-registered the dll per your instruction, using Administrative privileges in Powershell.

Worked like a champ.

Did you have to re register the DLL? 
Strange, maybe something failed during your install of CbB. I'm glad that you are up and running.
