Thanks to all,
 
It now works.
It seems that I had to reboot the entire machine.

Hello,

I am trying to have my virtual box recognizing the USB devices,
but I get <no device recognized>

I installed
   Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.40.vbox-extpack

which is supposed to provide the UBS 2.0 and 3.0 drivers

My devices are recognize by linux.

Any idea?
Where did you obtain VirtualBox?

Does the version you installed match the Extension Pack?

rpmFusion supplies 6.10 so you'd need Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.10.vbox-extpack
Hi Patrick, I'm using Virtualbox 6.1.12 R139181 under Windows 10, which I got from the Oracle web site. I have also just updated the extension pack to also 6.1.12, but I don't think the extension pack is what provides usb support (I thought the main usage of the extension pack is to get shared folders available) I thought the usb support was natively built in to virtualbox. In the machine settings in the usb section, I have 'Enable USB Controller' ticked, and then within that I have the radio button 'USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller' selected, but that does not enable usb in virtualbox, any device inserted into a usb port is "mounted" under windows, and then I have to click on the usb icon in the virtualbox taskbar and then select the inserted device from the popup list to get the device into the linux virtual machine. Then once finised with the device do the same thing again to give the device back to windows.


Please see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing

as to information of what the extension pack provides....

Partially, from the page...

Extension packs. Additional extension packs can be downloaded which extend the functionality of the Oracle VM VirtualBox base package. Currently, Oracle provides a single extension pack, available from: http://www.virtualbox.org. The extension pack provides the following added functionality:

The virtual USB 2.0 (EHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB Settings”.

The virtual USB 3.0 (xHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB Settings”.
