An audio device is active 100.0% of the time:
hwC0D0 Realtek ALC861-VD 

A USB device is active 100.0% of the time:
USB device  2-5 : Samsung S2 Portable (JMicron)

Suggestion: Enable USB autosuspend for non-input devices by pressing the U key


Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.00 to 15 seconds with:
  echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 
This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity

Suggestion: Enable wireless power saving mode by executing the following command:
  iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500ms
This will sacrifice network performance slightly to save power.

Suggestion: enable HD audio powersave mode by executing the following command:
   echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save 
or by passing power_save=1 as module parameter.

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG kernel configuration option.
This option will allow PowerTOP to collect runtime power management statistics.
