I just upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 a couple of days ago and now my DVD drive is no longer recognizing any disks at all.... not store-bought movies, home-burned movies, or simple file backup DVDs!!! It was all working fine before the upgrade. All of my backup archives are on DVD disks, I need to get my (one and only) DVD drive working again ASAP!!!
So far I have tried:
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg (already latest version)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg (already latest version)
sudo apt install libdvdread8 (already latest version)
sudo lshw -C storage returns the following:

I'm not sure why this is showing up as "ide" storage.
This is an old Dell Optiplex mini-format machine, but it is from 2012, so it is SATA, not ide.
I have 3 drives in this machine...
There are only 2 SATA ports available in total on the stock motherboard, so I had to add an internal SATA card for a second HDD.
The boot SSD is connected to the motherboard SATA port 0.
The DVD drive is connected to the motherboard SATA port 1.
A secondary storage HDD is connected to an internal PCIe card that is a combination SATA and USB2 "hub".
Both my hard drives are still working fine, but the DVD drive will no longer recognize or mount any media.
This is not the first time I have heard of this problem, but I still have not found any posts that offer a working solution.
Any help in getting this resolved asap would be appreciated.
Thank you.
