I am unable to burn a CD/DVD on MacBook with my existing Admin user.

I have a 2022 MacBook Air running Sonoma 14.4.1, and I can't write to a writable CD. I haven't needed to try to write to a DVD. I can read music CDs to add to the Music app at will, but I can't burn a CD.

I found the following from 2022 postings:

What to Try:

A. Verify the connection

Is there a Drive Even Seen?:

To Find Out:

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: About this Mac
3. Click: System Report... button
4. View: Hardware on left-column
5. Click: Disc Burning
6. Confirm if a Superdrive is Even Seen

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.

I did those six steps, and yes, both the SuperDrive I bought in 2022 is confirmed as is an LG writer that a friend lent me a few days ago. Then, I did B, creating a new admin user. Under this temp admin account, I can burn a CD.

So what is misconfigured in my usual admin account, and how do I fix it?
