There are two possible reason you do not hear the instrument sound, but can hear the metronome. The first is that the sound file for that instrument has not been installed. You can tell if this is the case because the speaker icon on each game screen will have a red slash through it, and on the instrument setting screen you will see a green button that says "install sound" next to the selected instrument. Installing the instrument (by pressing the green button) will resolve the issue.
Secondly, when running in timed mode the metronome is turned on by default, however the notes are not automatically played. You can have the notes automatically played by turning on the "Play Note" switch on the settings screen.
In Play That Note mode the instrument sound is played when you press the piano key, or string/fret, and in Name that Note Mode the sound is played when you press one of the note name buttons. The idea is as the notes go by you play them by answering correctly. When you turn on the "Play Note" switch you will hear the sounds twice (the correct note at the correct tempo, and the note the user presses).
If this doesn't resolve your issue please send me email to support@glpsoftware.com or post a follow up question.
Metronome OK, but no instrument sounds
