Newbie - Won't detect cd drive Mac 2025

[seneca]

Just setting up the trial version and fallen at the first hurdle. Tried turning everything on/off, but it says No drive selected. Anyone help?

Ok, I'm new to this tech stuff and can't decode your simple instruction! I've got to privacy & security but don't know what >> Privacy & Security >> Full means! I decided to just buy the full version and have seen in the bottom left corner, next to CD Drive it says dsk2 [ATAPI -iHas124 W] but for some reason in settings.cd drive it says No drive selected.

You should insert an audio CD, then look in those options, Choose 'Launchpad' >> Settings

Hey Seneca, just chiming in, I had a similar issue before. Make sure the CD you're inserting is an actual audio CD (not a data disc or MP3 CD), or it won’t show up. Also, once it’s in, try quitting and reopening dBpoweramp; sometimes it just needs a refresh to detect the drive properly.
