My PC has been returned to me from repair shop [I had a logon problem] and I have found several things wrong with my PC. A new dl dvd burner is not showing up [tech people said it was probably dead] and there is a high pitched squeal that is so loud I cant listen to music or watch videos. In fact the noise is constant ANYTIME windows makes a sound its there screeching!!! I am so frustrated!!!

Solved audio squeal by deleting audio drivers and reinstalling.
