    [SOLVED] Re: Problem with partition

    Two issues:

    Re: Alsa mixer capture feature always muted

    You might be able add "amixer" to a startup/login script:

    Try:

    It's pretty easy.

    Make a directory (e.g. /yourmountpoint) wherever you want it; make yourself the owner, and make it read/write-able as you desire.

    Add a line like this to you /etc/fstab file: ...
