Very strange issue with RTS5129 Card reader (host)

Post by Ilgaz »

Hello

Whenever I try to share the host (Ubuntu 22) card reader RTS5129 with the Windows 10 guest, the host OS hard freezes. Nothing can be done except press the power button to turn off the computer.

I have never seen such an issue with VirtualBox.

If share actually means to grab ownership of a USB device then this doesn't surprise me.

If the "card" in question is just an sdcard, access it as a shared folder.

Have you been successfully passing the card reader before, and it's failing now?
