Smart Card issues with new MacBook air

I just upgraded to the new MacBook Air with M2 chip and Monterey OS. I have the most up to date smart card reader. My Mac reads the smart card reader. However, it does not detect my smart card. Is this a known issue? Any fixes?

MacBook Air, macOS 12.4

Mac 2023 M2 Smart Card Detection My Smart Card is not detected on my new Macbook. Ony my old macbook I would get "ctkbind" notification with Gemalto PC Twin Reader with description "Unpaired SmartCard inserted: ProID token driver" (example screenshot attached).

Sony SxS card reader not working with my MacBook Pro I’ve just bought the latest Sony SxS card reader and it’s not recognising my SxS cards. My Mac recognises the reader but not the contents. I’ve downloaded the latest Mac software and the Sony firmware [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Macbook Pro M1 card reader not working at all Hi! Since i got my Macbook Pro (16-inch, 2021) M1 Max, about a year ago, the card reader hasn't been working at all. It doesn't recognize/mount/read any card. Whenever i connect a simple external card reader they all work fine, so it's definitely a problem with the card reader and not with the cards. Also disk utility doesn't see them. I would like to be able to use the internal reader though. Does anybody know a solution? I'm using Monterey 12.6, would a new OS help? Thanks & cheers, mark

Wiggle the card; reset it, do both. I quit cards in favor of 250GB portable SSDs for the very problem you describe. Cards were just too flakey and unreliable.
