    Whenever i play audio online (like on a flash player) the audio doesn't work on some programs, (Fruity Loops, Adobe Audition)

    If I have some programs up that work with sound (fruity Loops, Adobe Audition) i don't get any sound from the internet (at the same time).

    i tried updating my sound card drivers but they are already updated. can anybody help?

    either you've muted them in the mixer or your ADGI is ------ed, if its the latter you need a reinstall of windows

    I had this problem earlier. Go to YouTube and then open up your mixer and raise the volume for whatever Internet browser you are using.
    I didn't have audio in Firefox and it turns out I had it muted. >_<
    No idea why it was muted, but oh well.

    Audio Device Graph Isolation basically windows way of enforcing DRM and with it eating CPU use

    first problem is you have vista :D

    and if you open the computer and look where your audio device (i'm assuming built in) is. you should see a blackish squarish chip...ish

    and it should say something like realtek on it

    hmmm,
    I'm sure you have already checked, but make sure the mixer volume is not muted,
    also, go into your bios when you start up your computer and make sure AC'98 audio is enabled (i think that's what it's called).

    that's my only other guess,
    you could do 2 other things,
    go to the m$ website and check for hardware updates

    or call your manufacturer and ask for troubleshooting
