Mac os host, windows 7 guest usb bluetooth dongle
Mac os host, windows 7 guest usb bluetooth dongle
Hi,
I'm running latest VirtualBox + extension on macOS Big Sur MacBook pro 2015.
Guest os is windows 7 environment.
I need to use an usb bluetooth dongle with the guest windows 7 os.
I defined a usb 2.0 filter but when guest windows 7 runs it cannot see the dongle.
The mac os get the dongle and activate the bluetooth (I can see the icon in the top bar) so it cannot be captured by guest windows.
I had successfully configured usb hard drive and others devices to be used in the guest windows but no luck for the usb bluetooth dongle.
Any hints?

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text in
Code: Select all
tags, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Step 8 command are for windows and linux system.
Could I use linux command with mac os successfully?

I believe so. Mac, if I remember correctly, is based off BSD, which is Linux-like.

Yes, you can use the id command in a macOS terminal. But note that on macOS, there will be no vboxusers group, and in consequence, you do not need to be a member of it.

Re: Mac os host, windows 7 guest usb bluetooth dongle
Sorry, forgot about this one.
Something does have the device first:
Try this:
1. Unplug the USB device.
2. Reboot the host to reset everything.
3. Start the VM with the device not plugged in.
4. After the VM has fully booted, plug in the device.
Does the device go into the VM?

Attached the log.
I tried also configuring usb 2.0 but same error "VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION"
I have the onboard mac bluetooth adapter disabled. When I plug the usb dongle I see the bluetooth icon enabled and bluetooth is running but on host (mac) not guest (windows 7)

Bummer, still the same message in the log. Thanks for trying!
FWIW, Bluetooth devices are specifically called out in the USB tutorial, post #3:
FWIW, Bluetooth devices are specifically called out in the USB tutorial, post #3:
Try to see if you can figure out the underlined part on your Mac host.Uncapturable
These are USB devices that are captured by the host with a daemon or service (e.g. Bluetooth controller). Not only you can't make the on-the-fly option work, but you can't even get it to work with a filter, unless you disable the host service/daemon. The device then becomes "Idling", see below.
Re: Mac os host, windows 7 guest usb bluetooth dongle
I red that part since the beginning but I'm not able to stop bluetooth service/daemon on my macOs Catalina.
I tried a couple of suggestion online but no luck. This is why I wrote there, maybe others had the same bluetooth usb dongle issue with mac

Re: Mac os host, windows 7 guest usb bluetooth dongle
I cannot find any resource about stopping/disabling macOs Big Sur bluetooth daemon/service.
All commands I found are not working with BigSur.
Anyone in the forum has the same need?
