Ventura 13.2 no longer recognizes Pioneer BDR-XD07UHD as an optical drive

The system is an Intel iMac that was just upgraded to 13.2. After updating to Ventura 13.2, the Pioneer BDR-XD07UHD blu ray drive is no longer recognized by MacOS as an optical drive. The drive was recognized correctly and worked correctly immediately prior to upgrading from 13.1 to 13.2.


I've also checked a second BDR-XD07UHD drive on the iMac, and neither is recognized as an optical drive. I've just tested both drives with an M1 Air running 13.1, and an Intel Air running 12.6.2. Both OSs recognize the drive as an optical drive, and work correctly,


Back to the 13.2 iMac system, the drive is seen on USB:


Pioneer Blu-ray Drive:

  Product ID:	0x017a
  Vendor ID:	0x08e4  (Pioneer Corporation)
  Version:	1.00
  Serial Number:	1401081112800243
  Speed:	Up to 5 Gb/s
  Manufacturer:	Pioneer Corporation
  Location ID:	0x00200000 / 3
  Current Available (mA):	900
  Current Required (mA):	8
  Extra Operating Current (mA):	0


Interestingly, if I connect the USB device to a parallels VM running Windows on the iMac, the drive is seen as an optical device and functions correctly from within Windows.


However, if I connect the USB device to a parallels VM running MacOS 13.2, the drive is seen on the USB but is still not seen as an optical device.


Looks like a regression in MacOS 13.2.

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
