Windows 8.1 on VirtualBox 4.3.16: doesn't see USB devices

Post by JOLO »

I installed Windows 8.1 on Virtual Box. And I want to connect LBook V3+ to my virtual Windows.

I tried go to Settings=> Ports => USB => Add Empty Filter. But I don't know how to configure that filter - I don't know any of that device params.

I've got OS X Maverick natively on my PC. But fairly speaking I installed Windows only because my Mac also doesn't see LBook. So, I don't know a way how I can get device id or something else to configure USB filter.

If you leave the USB filter empty, start your Windows guest and once you get to the desktop, then plug in the LBook, Windows may recognize it.
