USB-C Support

Post by jgo »

Hello,
i installed VB 6.1 and the Extensions on linux mint 19.3. My Notebook has only USB-C connections.
USB-devices are not recognized into the VB. Has somebody a solution or is USB-C already supported by VB 6.1

Try web-searching:

USB C site:forums.virtualbox.org


Several suggestions arise. Apparently USB C is a connector style, not a special different protocol that has to be specially supported. See USB basics and troubleshooting

USB-C is just a connector style as mentioned, but it implies USB 3.x. Not all guest OS's will support USB3 without help, unfortunately you don't mention what your guest OS is, so that's all the help we can give for now.

If you want to continue this conversation then we'll need to see a VM log: with the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
