v1.17.5 no longer recognizes my drive. "The program can't find any usable optical drives"

MacMini (M1), Sonoma (14.0).

1. Eject discs from all drives, Reboot, launch MakeMKV, exit MakeMKV. Check drives operational (insert disc, see in finder) PASS 2.

New information. When I reboot, I can see both my superdrive and blu-ray drive through system profiler. MakeMKV will works properly. However.

Tried both USB 2.0 and Firewire 400, nothing. ...
