I'm sorry, but you definitely have to explain that part. AFAIK there's absolutely no difference between ejecting from the guest before the guest shuts down, after the guest shuts down and it's released automatically, force closing the guest, or the guest aborting.
Is there anything specific about your device that makes it behave differently when released "softly" (ejected) versus a "hard" release (guest shuts down)? Does it get into a different state, a "park" state?

If such a script exists, it would be guest specific, something that you would do in a physical computer. There's no such mechanism built-into VirtualBox. Even now (if you think about it) you're not ejecting the device from VirtualBox, you eject it from the guest.

the usb device a internal smartcard reader so there is no physically ejecting this device.
what i would like to be able to do via a script is to "uncheck" the captured usb device from the virtualbox device/usb menu within the guest. this seems to make the smartcard reader available on the host even before the guest is shutdown.

As I previously said, this is a action initiated from the host, not the guest. And since it's a ReallyBadIdeaâ„¢ to control the host from the guest, you need to think this from a different angle. Say, create a script on the host that first ejects the USB device in question and then initiates an ACPI shutdown.
Again, I fail to see the difference between user-freeing the device from the Devices menu, vs auto-releasing the device when the guest shuts down. You haven't told me what the difference is.

i think its a timing thing. I have no idea when virtualbox actually releases the device during its shutdown process. But if i can release the device before the actual guest shutdown or even regardless of a shutdown, then I know the device should be available to the host regardless of the state of the guest.

Hi, I only found smart card in device manager, other CV devices are not there. Where should I look?
I tried to add filters anyway, but my guest don't see any broadcom devices.
Thanks for help.

The question is: does your host see it? If it does, you should be able to add the filter. Then read the thread from the beginning. Twice, and realy carefully, in case you missed something.

I see Microsoft Usbccid Smartcard Reader (WUDF) device under smart card readers in host device manager (HW ID USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5832&REV_0101&MI_01)
So I added filter in virtualbox Name=broadcom corp [0101], Vendor id=0a5c, product id=5832, revision=0101
There is no smart card reader nor unknown device In guest VM's device manager.

When I said "does the host see it", I meant in the context of VirtualBox. Please read the following thread:

all of the posts.
If you still have a problem after reading through the
whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post,

Hi.
I gathered all of the info. I try to use dell internal smartcard reader in VM. Smartcard reader is not visible in guest after adding it on-the-fly, and also with usb capture filter.

Guest Additions installed on guest.

- You didn't have to include the screenshot, all the information from that screenshot are included in the "VBoxManage showvminfo", and much more.
- Everything seems all right. So, what you need to do now, is to read the thread from the beginning, as I already told you. And find that service that's grabbing your Smart Card...

I managed to solve my issue. I didn't disable any of the services.
Problem was in missing driver for smart card itself (not reader) on host PC. After instalation of that driver, and running VM with card inserted, virtualbox captured new broadcom device, even thogh with the same IDs as original one.
Now virtualbox is able capture card reader with or without card insted. Even after uninstallation of the card driver it is still working.
