Just upgraded my Mac to Sonoma 14.1.1. Computer was new July 2023. I want to upload some more CDs and the Mac doesn't recognize the CD drive. It is an LG Model GP65NB60. When connected to Mac it is on, can hear disk spinning, but can't access drive. Please help. Thanks.

If I recall correctly, it is the Apple silicon chip that requires this.

Not not Coke. It'll be a Hop Toad Cocktail or nothing.
Yes. Considering that was the first suggestion made, already done.
I have checked everything you have, and it still doesn't. show. Plugged directly into Mac, CD in drive. Any other thoughts? Thanks
Nope. I think it's an older DVD player won't see new computer, or vice versa thing. Guess when my old computer dies I'll be getting a new DVD player.
