# apt-get upgrade
# rpi-update
```
+**Note:** if you are using a full-size Rapsberry Pi with the built-in DAC, it is a particularly good idea to update the Pi's firmware using `rpi-update` because, at this time of writing (September 2018), a [significant improvement](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/commit/200c2f4dd54b2048b5dcb8661ea3f232beb7d81e) has been made to the [timing software](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1026) of the built-in audio DAC's drivers.

+(Separately, if you haven't done so already, consider using the `raspi-config` tool to expand the file system to use the entire card.)
