There would not be a connection to the external drive, just to the Mac. When you play an audio CD, it plays to the Mac.

If you find an answer please post it. I have the issue with the iMac and the Apple SuperDrive if I put in the Music CD it will only play if I use the internal speakers as output audio but the minute I switch to Bluetooth devices like a sound bar or my beats headphones. the CD will not play but it will play if I use airplay such as the HomePod or stream it to my Apple TV in those cases the CD display but if I switch it to Bluetooth devices it stops so please can someone help, Apple has given up when I have called this past several times as of March 26, 2023
