I initially planned to install Linux Lite over writing Windows 10 completely, but there was some difficulty in installing any operating system on this Maxesla Z83 mini pc.Д«ecause of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface - the relatively recent BIOS replacement - I could not get any operating system to boot from a DVD or even a USB stick. I have decided to use a USB external sound card as it makes perfect sense at this time. 'The game is afoot' The search goes on.ДЄnother update.

I am looking for the code to type in the Terminal to recognize the installed sound card.

Unfortunately that's not a lot of information about this. But CPUFREQ Power Manager does support the old CPUFreq driver, which can be used by disabling Intel Pstate as explained on the extension FAQ, and by installing (see the dependencies section from the linked page) an optional package.Д¬PUFREQ Power Manager is only available as a Gnome Shell extension right now, but the plan is to create a dedicated Gtk+ 3 application that supports multiple desktop environments. Since intel_pstate is used automatically for Intel Sandy Bridge and newer CPUs, it's best to use this. According to Phoronix, the intel_pstate performance governor should give better power saving than the old ondemand governor.

The extension works with both the CPU frequency driver (CPUFreq), as well as the Intel P-State driver.Д¬PUFreq supports multiple governors (performance, powersave, ondemand, conservative, schedutil and userspace), while the intel_pstate driver only supports the performance and powersave guvernors, but they both provide dynamic scaling. This allows the creation of custom power profiles to quickly switch between various application settings.ДЇrom the CPUFREQ Power Manager settings you can set it to remember the settings, automatically restoring them on the next start (with this set to off being the default), or change what the panel label/icon monitors - the CPU frequency (showing the current CPU frequency value), the CPU governor (showing an icon representing the in-use governor), or both. The extension can also set the minimum and maximum CPU frequency, enable or disable turbo boost, and display some system status messages which can inform the user when CPU throttling is occurring, or when there are some CPU load issues.ДЄnother nice feature is custom profiles. CPUFREQ Power Manager (or just CPUFREQ) is a Gnome Shell extension that makes it easy change the CPU governor (powersave / performance) and monitor the CPU frequency.
