Plugged a super drive in to my daughters new Apple MacBook Air, put a DVD in, the icon and DVD name appears and the DVD player application opens but the dvd does not play. No sound or picture, there is no noise coming from the super drive once it’s finished reading it.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Thanks for the clarification.
Refer to Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support.
If the issue persists, startup into Safe Mode and test: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support.

If you are running early version of Big Sur this is a known issue. It can be resolved by updating to the last Big Sur version I believe is 11.6.2 or to Monterey.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
Are you using an official Apple USB adapter to connect the SuperDrive?
Jack
Yes a brand new Apple usb-c to usb-b adaptor
Super drive works fine on iMac and plays dvd straight away
DVD not playing
