These are already in this daily version. Specifically, the…

Changing the CPU Governor to Performance in Linux

Comments 1 comment

Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll show you how to change the CPU governor in Linux to the Performance mode. This will allow your machine to run to its full potential as the CPU will be running to its maximum supported clock regardless of the load. Normally, we can choose between these CPU scaling governors: Therefore, if we want to get the maximum performance, we should use the performance governor. Some Linux distributions may also use another governor called schedutil…

Hi everyone, In this post, we will change our Virtual Machine USB Controller from the default qemu-xhci model to nec-xhci. After attempting to pass a USB Audio Class 2.0 device using the generic Standard QEMU XHCI controller, I was having some sound issues, particularly with constant pops and distortions while bistreaming audio. After checking for solutions, it seems we can use the nec-xhci controller. This is what I did, and it fixed the sound issues I was having. Before doing…

Passing the BIOS information from our PC to our QEMU/KVM Virtual Machine

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, In this post, we will see how simple it is to pass our physical machine BIOS information to our QEMU/KVM Windows Virtual Machine. Apparently, this is a way some software checks to see if it is running behind a VM and adding a simple line of configuration will pass our real machine BIOS info to the VM, so the software will read the real info rather than the one from the virtualized BIOS. Here’s an image from CPU-Z…
