Extern cd/dvd reader and macbook

I have a macbook pro from 2023 and an older cd reader from apple.

I use a usb hub from icy because the macbook doesn't have old usb connection.But the reader does not work.

What can I do?


kind regards

Hi,

I assume your USB Hub is bus powered Hub which is not able to supply enough power to the external CD/DVD drive.

You should get self powered USB Hub.
