If you used a .deb file then it is definitely installed in Mint.  I am
certainly not a Linux expert, just a user like yourself (I'm 69 myself),
but I have been "playing" with it for 5-6 years.  My main desktop dual
boots with Windows 10 and Ubuntu and I have 3 Raspberry Pis.  So all I
can do is relay my own personal experiences.  

Roland0 certainly could be right and the problem could be that the
partition isn't mounted properly.  It sounds like he is far more
knowledgeable than I.  However, I have never had to manually mount a
hard drive.  Maybe I've just been lucky but the 3 varieties of Linux I
have used (Ubuntu, Mint and Raspian) have always mounted my drives
automatically.

All of the Disk problems I have experienced in Linux have occurred when
I was trying to access an NTFS formatted disk.  That is a very old
Windows format and I doubt that you would be having this problem if that
partition were formatted as FAT32.  I have read several places that the
Linux Kernal only includes read capabilities natively.  The write
capabilities need to be added with a separate package.  It is certainly
possilbe that Mint now includes that package, as Roland0 suggests, but
it didn't the last time I tried it which was about 3 years ago.  I know
that Raspian does not include it because I had a problem last week when
I installed Raspian Buster on my RPi.  I can't remember if I had to add
it to Ubuntu or not, it's been to long.  Anyway, I have frequently
thought about reformatting that drive to eliminate some of these
problems but I guess I just to lazy.

Give this a try, when you are booted into Mint use the File Explorer
program and see if you can copy a file (any file will do) into the AUD
partition.  If that is successful then my suggestion probably won't help
you.  In that event it probably is either a partition mounting issue (as
suggested) or a file access permissions issue.

Sorry for your difficulty, Good luck.
