[Doug McMahon]

Thank you for your bug report. The configuration in settings -> details -> removable media (and the corresponding keys) are by media types, can you describe what's your issue exactly?

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

twofold -
audio cd's & blank media are affected by the gnome setting of org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount
In neither case can the media be mounted, auto or otherwise, only accessed by location.
So setting org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount to false should have no effect on those actions but it does.

In the case of blank media it causes an 'error' pop up, attached.

In lieu of any fix those that wish that internal volumes are not auto-mounted but wish to retain the autorun function (ask, do nothing, do something) on optical media can create 2 startup .desktops. The 1st. one is immediate & disables automount, the 2nd re-enables it a few sec later.
At this point I'd consider this bug as 'won't fix' & clearly doesn't affect many users anyway
