I am trying to connect a new Apple USB Superdrive to my MacBook Air M2 via a USB-C dock and I hear the drive 'click' when its connected to the dock, but it will not accept/load an inserted disk of any kind.
MacBook Air 15″
I've seen several posts to the effect that this drive likes to be connected directly to a Mac (or directly to an Apple USB-C to USB adapter that is connected directly to a Mac).
Where does your external dock get power? From the wall, or from the MacBook Air?

Troubleshooting USB SuperDrive:
See if something below solves this. If so, report back which one.
Some thoughts:
A. Is there a Superdrive even seen?:
To Find Out:
B. Try Using a New Administrator User:
See what happens when you create a new Administrator User and login to it and perform and eject. If it works, then it is something misconfigured in your current user.
C. Connect to a Different Computer:
Connect this to a difference computer, seeing if you can get it out.
