I have linux mint 18.1 and Windows 10 on my laptop, both are fresh installed. Although the sound works fine on windows. Unfortunately, I encounter some problems with mint.The problems on Linux mint 18.1:The sound come out from front-left speaker only.When using headphone, the audio keep coming out from the spekaer butnothing can be heard from the headphone.UPDATE 1:Right after I posted this question, I have rebooted my laptop and signed back in. Now the problem get worse, No sound at all, neither from speaker nor from the headphone.UPDATE 2:I rebooted again. Now BOTH speaker works. But when I plug the headphone, the sound still coming out from the speaker instead of the headphone. I really have no idea what's going on here.Laptop Specs:Dell Inspiron 14 7460    Display : 14.0-inch FHD (1920x1080) IPS Truelife LED-Backlit DisplayProcessor : 7th Generation Intel Core i5-7200U ProcessorMemory : 8GB DDR4 2133 MHzHard Drive : 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA HDDGraphics : nVidia GeForce 940MX 2GB GDDR5Optical Drive : N/AOperating System : Windows 10 Home 64-bit EnglishNetworking : 802.11ac dan Bluetooth 4.2, Dual Band 2.4 & 5 GHz, 11Keyboard : Non-Backlight keyboardAudio : 2 tuned speakers with Waves MaxxAudio Prolspci output:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Device 5904 (rev 02)00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5916 (rev 02)00:04.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Skylake Processor Thermal Subsystem (rev 02)00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP USB 3.0 xHCI Controller (rev 21)00:14.2 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Thermal subsystem (rev 21)00:15.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller (rev 21)00:15.1 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller (rev 21)00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP CSME HECI (rev 21)00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 21)00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 9d10 (rev f1)00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express Root Port (rev f1)00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express Root Port (rev f1)00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Device 9d58 (rev 21)00:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PMC (rev 21)00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 9d71 (rev 21)00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP SMBus (rev 21)01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3165 (rev 79)03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

linux mint 18.1 audio problem
linux mint;audio;alsa;pulseaudio
Apparently, upgrading my kernel to 4.4 fix the problem.
