Device not detected

xfBurn does not detect my USB DVD/CD writer & notifies me that no device is connected on launch. In Prefs > Device no devices are listed & 'scan' seems to have no effect.

However, in Thunar the device is visible.

I tried xfBurn on 2 distros, Archcraft Openbox & Manjaro Gnome (both up to date) & it was the same problem. I tried another app (Brasero) & was able to burn a disc, however Brasero has some other bugs which led me to delete it. I only mention this as evidence that the device is functional. I was also able to burn a CD on my wife Win11 computer using the same device.

I'm currently using xfBurn on Archcraft.

I found a similar type problem for a device with the same ID on another forum & left a comment.
