Re: Updating Kernel

[jeanbaptiste.g...@gmail.com]

Hello,

Happy New year too.

My Dell Inspiron has the same chip and after multiple attempting upgrading
the kernel (from 4.2) solves the sound. But if you want the best experience
with acceleration with your display, you have to upgrade other packages
like mesa, xserver-xorg-video-intel, libdrm, etc.

The best solution is to migrate your distribution to Stretch and leave
Jessie. Result is perfect for me.

Have a nice day !
