Linux Mint 18.3 can't find my CD/DVD drive. I have run update of drivers.

This terminal command will give you some good info on your disks and specifically your optical drive. You can then post the complete output back here in a reply.

inxi -dxx

Another thing to check, is in the program that needs dvd/cd access. This was mentioned in the Release Notes.
Check to make sure that the default optical device is set to /dev/sr0 (a number zero, not a capital O)
(click to enlarge) This is the preferences of VLC on my computer.

That's your CD/DVD drive.

Seems to be detected correctly, and it is in a "running" state.
(ps: it won't show up unless a disk is inserted)

[storfot51]

yes it is.

When trying to use AUDACIOUS , I get ERROR message: No audio capable CD drive found.
Error opening cdda://:
Error reading metadata

Look in the preferences of Audacious, and change the default cd/dvd (cdda://) to /dev/sr0 as in my previous reply.
