Samsung Portable DVD Writer Model SE-208 not working with MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

It mounts the CD but then unmounts and remounts if you click on a file. Works fine on the MacBook pro running the same software (Monterey 12.5). I am using a Satechi Aluminum USB-C Multiport Pro Adapter to connect it as I only have usb c ports.


I have rebooted the computer.


Any ideas ? Greatly appreciated.

in your case, to connect the optical drive directly to the MBA, you need to use an USB-C to USB Adapter. using an adapter is the way to connect it directly, and not through a hub or dock.
