So trying to copy CD's of an audio book to my Mac... but continue to get the above message. What can I do to remedy this? The external DVD/CD drive worked well on my older MacBook Air
USB -C is a USB port just not like the Older USB-A port
You will need an Adapter from the link provided below
How to connect the Apple USB SuperDrive - Apple Support
The USB Hub even if a Self Powered unit may or may not work for your purposes
This is especially true if running macOS 12 Monterey
The Chip Set in the HUB is effectively the Issue
