How to open CKB file?

Step 1. Install Cricket Audio

Programs to open CKB file
Remember to download programs supporting CKB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cricket Audio with CKB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CKB file to open in the Cricket Audio application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CKB file with the Cricket Audio application.
Step 3. Update Cricket Audio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cricket Audio with Cricket Audio Bank Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cricket Technology website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CKB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CKB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CKB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CKB file. Sometimes virus-infected CKB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CKB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CKB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cricket Technology, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CKB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CKB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CKB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CKB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
