BIOS tweaks

[JD1]

Hmm. Don't really know. What you can do is try and run the cyclictest on one page, and then load another browser tab and look at the dashboard again. Does it turn up? Playing music doesn't require a lot of CPU at all - as such it may not 'ramp up'.

Tried that; freq on dashboard never changes so I think it must be static.

You touched on another question: Might cyclictest be CPU-intensive enough to switch on turbo or otherwise ramp up CPU freq?  If so, the results may not be relevant to the lower CPU speed when actually listening to music.

BTW; it was not speedstep that slows my CPU to 0.8GHz. Just disabling turbo does that regardless of other settings.
