How do i enable passthrough on host OS ?

[jimak06]

Hello !

I cannot play DVDs on guest OS because Passthrough is not enable on host OS. I have the lastest version of VirtualBox.

Any suggestions ?

This is greatly appreciated.

Enable it in the VBOX GUI.

Hello !

The GUI option is not available. It is greyed out. I have to do it through the command prompt, unless there is another way.

Before searching post Infos. Log file is good start (VBOX GUI, select guest, right mouse button).

You have to select the CD/DVD drive in the Storage section of the VM settings. At that point "Passthrough" should be visible on the right. The option should be enabled when the virtual CD/DVD drive is associated with a physical drive on the host.
