The latest version of macOS Ventura (13.2) breaks compatibility with Pioneer’s lineup of USB-connected CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives for the Mac.
Apple released macOS 13.2 back in January, which brought Security Keys for Apple ID and includes other enhancements and bug fixes for the Mac.
Users who have installed the update are reporting that their Pioneer disc drives are no longer working with their Mac. Affected users are complaining about the issue on the MacRumors Forums, Reddit, Twitter, Apple Support Community, and elsewhere online.
Pioneer has acknowledged the matter on its website and says it is investigating the issue.
“We have confirmed that our optical drives are not recognized by macOS Ventura 13.2 released by Apple on January 23, 2023,” reads a notice on Pioneer’s optical drive product listings. “We are currently investigating this symptom. We would like to ask our customers who are using our optical drives to refrain from updating to macOS Ventura 13.2.”
