High Pitch Noise from speakers

[FantasyLovely]

Recently my Computers Hard drive broke so I pulled out my old computer to upgrade it from Windows Vista to Windows 7. When I plugged in the Speakers before the Update to watch a Tutorial on how there was only a slight static in the background(Which I think is because it was old) and after the Update any time I plug in any type of speaker(Headphones, Earbuds, my Speakers, etc) it emits a High Pitch Noise(Not static) from the Speakers instead of any other sound. Could it be a Driver Failure?

I doubt this would be a Driver failure as you put it. IMO either your sound card is broken/unusable or it's not compatible with your OS because of age... How old was your computer that emmits this sound?

I've had this PC since around 2005, but the Speakers came with this computer, so I'd guess Windows 7 isn't compatible?

Again this COULD be your soundcard (which is integrated in your Motherboard). If u want to test your speakers your best bet would be connecting them to another PC. If the results are same then it's your speaker's problem, if not - then your Soundcard or Driver(unlikely)
