How to make the Headset with microphone works ?

Post by martin123 »

Hi,

I'm on Windows 10 guest.

I have a Headset with a Microphone, and with USB plug (plug & play).

I enabled on VBox settings audio output & audio input.

On The virtual machine, I also enabled USB Device. I checked the radio button "GeneralPlus USB Audio Device", that is my headset.

But, the headset doesn't work! Neither output audio nor input audio!

How to make the Headset works?

I want to use it in output & input audio.

Thank you.

This takes the USB headset away from the host OS and puts it into the VM OS. Then the VM's OS has to run the device with its own drivers.

What happens when the USB filter is not used?

Thanks Scottgus for your replay,

It works, What was missing was to activate the microphone on the windows host settings. :D
