    how to remove Realtek AC'97 Audio?

    I install Realtek Ac'97 Audio using Window Update but realtek AC'97 Audio is
    not listed in programs and features. I want to remove it to install the
    latest driver on realtek website 2007/3/12
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false.
    Is that driver stable enough to be use in Windows Vista? Should i wait until
    microsoft release it on Windows Update?



    Can i use Realtek AC'97 Audio Properties to uninstall it instead? will this
    remove everything including the realtek startup.

    Just download and run the installer from Realtek. It'll uninstall
    previous versions.

    Hey, go into your Bios (By pressing Delete or F1 on start up, depends on the
    motherboard,) anyway, Go into your "Integrated Peripherals" or it might be
    under another name. Either way, by default your mother board sets OnBoard
    sound to "Auto" so you have to change that to "Disabled" to truely get rid
    of all of its little drivers and what not.
