Do you know what it is so that we can help you fix the problem? If you don't know and don't know how to find out come back to us. usualsuspect, Dec 19, 2006 #2 Drumbokas Joined: Jan 7, 2006 Messages: 8 After reading posts on how to fix my new ctmbh.dll error, identical to the one above, It seems as if people are re-installing the sound drivers to fix this. My sound seems to work fine, and I only got this error after removing the creativelicensing registry entry. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this ctmbh.dll dosent seem to have an effect on the functionability of the sound card or its associated software. If I run into problems, I'll be sure to post back. What I am looking for now is a way to remove the error without re-installing the drivers or software. -Drumbokas Drumbokas, Jul 16, 2007 #3 Drumbokas Joined: Jan 7, 2006 Messages: 8 well, I was wrong. The CTMBHA dll appearently does do something besides nag you to register (if it even does that) . My sounds seems to be working ok, but some of the Creative features are disabled. The Creative speaker taskbar icon will no longer bring up the fancy version of volume control and instead gives me this error: Surround Mixer The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit The other Creative features are no longer functional either, such as EAX Settings, Speaker Settings, Graphic Equalizer, and the before mentioned Surround Mixer(fancy volume control). I do not often use these features, but the errors are annoying so I guess I will try to re-install I suppose I should have played it safe and made a copy of my registry before editing it, doh! Any t

I followed all the instructions in the malware removal threads and with some great help have removed all the malware. Even got my sound working again with a quick fix. However, when I startup/login I get a popup message saying a Dynamic Link Library initialization failed - Error Loading CTMBHA.DLL. Google search says this is soundcard related. I dont need any fancy sound tools. Any way to fix this issue? thanks! pc pablocafe, Jun 2, 2011 #1 iain.t MajorGeek Go to ...

As you need to uninstall all of the Creative/Sigmatel and Sound Blaster entries, and once they have been removed you will need to install the new drivers in the correct order as a simple 'scan for hardware changes' will not fix this issue. The error you are recieving is in relation to the creative software, the registration .DLL is missing. Do you use any registry cleaner programs?? if so you may well of deleted this by accident. iain.t :major iain.t, Jun 4, 2011 #4 pablocafe Private E-2 I dont actively use any registry cleaners but I did follow all of the malware remove instructions in the readmefirst sticky post.
