External dvd drive not working after update to Sierra 10.12.6, Build 16G2016

Hi,


My external DVD drive has been working fine. It still works fine on my Windows 10 computer. I recently updated my Mac running Sierra 10.12.6 to the latest Build 16G2016 and now my external DVD drive doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas? I tried a reboot and an SMC reset. No luck.


Thanks,

Ryan

Have you check for an updated driver at the manufacturer's web site?
