I sense Alan expects everyone here has read and remembers every post he has 
written. He told us his, though indirectly:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/09/msg00296.html

Synopsis:
Wheezy was on old puter, with mature hardware supported by FOSS.
Jessie is on new (unspecified model) Dell (with Win10), with unknown hardware 
with unknown FOSS support.

New puter's design date is *probably* newer than Jessie, which would mean 
problems can be *expected*, because he's not tried an OS that's newer than 
his puter, such as Stretch.

Win10 works without problems because Dell made sure of it. Dell didn't do 
that with Jessie or any other Debian, and probably with no other Linux either.

If Alan wants serious help, he needs to stop keeping his hardware info 
secret. Ordinarily I would expect he could share the copious output provided 
by alsa-info.sh, but it seems to be absent from Jessie, so he would need to 
find it elsewhere in order to run it, e.g.:
