VB not recognizing USB devices

[Mathieu]

Hey everyone!

I installed windows xp sp3 on virtualbox with ubuntu 9.10 host. I have a yamaha clavinova piano hooked into my computer (and working in ubuntu) with an M-Audio Uno, which plugs into a USB port.

I have Reason 4 running under XP and I installed the drivers for the Uno cord, but when I start reason it own't find the piano and when I go to VBox and go to Devices->USB Devices it says that there are none.

How do I tell XP to use my piano?


thanks!

USB is not supported in the OSE version of VirtualBox. You need to have the PUEL version.

[Mathieu]

alright, and how might one obtain said PUEL version?

[Perryg]

You download it from here http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
You will need to uninstall the OSE version before you install the PUEL version

[Mathieu]

okay I installed the PUEL versionb ut it still doesn't recognize any of my USB things, not even my flash drives...the whole menu is grayed out
