Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by down from the top of the drivers list. I have a default synth enabled (either Coyote WT or ForteDXI take your pick) and the metronome works fine after the count-in with either of those. The WT is at the top of the default dxi/vsti synth list. I don't know if that is what you mean.
The silent count-in in the metronome preferences dialog box seems to make no difference if it is on or off.
