Installing the standard Ubuntu 16.04 ISO on an Intel Compute stick with an Atom CPU results in lack of HDMI audio and wifi.
I've combined some recent patches and source code and ported them with Canonical's kernel source to create an ISO that can now fully support HDMI audio, wifi and bluetooth.

Once downloaded from https://goo.gl/ujNGPg and written to a USB using either 'Rufus' in Windows or 'dd' in Linux it can be booted using the 'F10' option.
The initial menu screen takes slightly longer to appear than with the official ISO. Depending on the speed of your USB it can be anything from 15 to 45 seconds before anything appears on the screen.
If you install using the BIOS's 32-bit bootloader then you also need to download and install the patch 'linuxium-32bit-patch.sh' from https://goo.gl/1LIx1S prior to rebooting.
Only Atom based Intel Compute sticks are supported and include the STCK1A8LFC, STCK1A32WFC, STK1AW32SC and STK1A32SC models.
Also note that the ISO includes a patched kernel to provide the missing functionality meaning it will not get any automatic kernel updates from Canonical. However other application packages will update as standard.
