Appears to be part of Audigy sound system

Have had it for quite sometime, but just now investigating. Still don't know what is its purpose.

It is installed by the Creative Audigy line of sound cards. If you have a new PC with an Audigy sound card or an Audigy processor on your motherboard, there is a good chance that this file is running on startup.It's "Creative Filter AudioControlMB Module" (ctmbha.dll, version 1.0.1.22).

Seems to be related to Soundblaster/Audigy soundcard. I've had it for 10 months since installing my Dell PC without any problems. It's in my Docs & Settings subdirectories.
