    I've got an Acer Aspire 5720 and I want to free up HD space by deleting some Acer utilities that came with my laptop, especially eAudio.
    If I do this, will Windows Vista take over my audio functions so I can still hear my speakers and headphones, etc?
    Thank you,
    bobmac

    eAudio is basically just a front-end for Vista and/or Realtek's own functions. By all means, uninstall away.
