ESP32 does not work with all micro sdcards

[pythagoras]

I'm using idf.py v5.0.1 on an ESP32-Wroom-32E module connected to an micro sdcard via SPI. It usually works with most 32GB micro sd cards but I have a micro sdcard that it doesn't. The sd card is a SanDisk Ultra 32GB HCI class 10 A1. I was wondering if this card doesn't support spi or if it is just a question of setup.
I turned on debugging and this is what I got:

It seems that spi is fine and the esp32 is communicating with the sdcard but is rejecting the setup commands.
Has anyone come across this problem?

Hi, has anyone updates about this topic?

i have the same problem. I have a SanDisk Ultra 16GB Micro SD Card -> works fine. my 32GB SanDisk Ultra Micro SD Card is not working. The card changes after the ACMD41 command not to the ready state.

Yes I have the same issue with the SanDisk Ultra Plus 32 GB A1 MicroSD Card.
Replaced the card with a San Disk Industrial 8 GB and all is fine.
this was my first attempt at using the MicroSD with my ESP32 Devkit. I'm not exactly sure what version Kit it is. From Amazon,

ESP32 ESP32S Board ESP-WROOM-32 Development Board, Aideepen ESP32S ESP-WROOM-32 Board 2.4GHz Dual-Core Compatible with Arduin, Nodemcu, and MicroPytho


The adapter card is this, also from Amazon,
UMLIFE Micro SD SDHC TF Card Adapter Reader Module with SPI Interface Level Conversion Chip Compatible with Arduino Raspberry

This a snippet from the Monitor showing the error messages. The code used is from the Espressif SDCard Example.

I'm using Espressif 5.1 with VSCode and the ESP-IDF extension.
