Hi friends, in today's tutorial we'll talk about how we can use different devices / USB devices not supported by our operating system, exactly how to use a USB device (webcam, printer, stick bluetooth, tv tunner) in VirtualBox . I'm sure you have one room in the house or a web oldest old bluetooth stick which unfortunately can not be used on Windows 7 or Windows Vista and you have drivers only for Windows XP. Well, with the help of VirtualBox can use any USB device on any operating system on your PC even if you have installed a real operating system no longer supports these USB devices, whether they are too old or that simply do not have drivers.
All we need is VirtualBox software, a CD or an ISO image with the operating system that supports these devices and we can begin!
You will need to install VirtualBox then make some VirtualBox settings and to Install an OS in VirtualBox. If we really want to share (share some files) files between the real system and that of VirtualBox:
How is the share between the real system and the virtual box, virtual machine is Ubuntu Linux
How is share between the operating system and the virtual from the real VirtualBox
VirtualBox is a virtualization software with which you can do many things, and we can test different software is useful in many situations. We can even use our speed and 2D 3D a real video card for use in the operating system in VirtualBox and so we can play games that do not work only on a specific operating system.
Like all the above to work, you have to install Guest Additions, an ISO image that comes with VirtualBox you will need to assemble and install content. Thus the operating system of the virtual environment can communicate much better with the actual operating system to extend its functionality and capabilities of VirtualBox operating system.
That said, I invite you to watch the tutorial video to see the steps required to use a USB device in a virtual environment, or more precisely in a VirtualBox operating system.

Hi, a great tutorial, I don't really use virtual boxing, so good luck with other tutorials still. Somehow Adrian you checked the sound in control panel something with noise, or with echo calibration that it sounds in waves when vb, I don't like what this realtek uses for a VIA HD chipset VT1708S the microphone sounds very good when vb at realtek there is a function that means that it is for hiding the background sound, I have the impression but they didn't manage to do it, they still have to test it (RightSound - maybe that's what you wanted to get out of them, but they weren't successful). )

Hi Adrian,
While a video tutorial "Tips on buying a webcam"? I want to buy a webcam and I don't know which model to choose. I ask for your help because I do not know the essential characteristics. I need a webcam with good image clarity, not to give the effect of slow motion as if you were moving in a vacuum, as I saw in someone. I've read on the internet about webcams but everyone gives their opinion and you don't know who to believe. Thanks.
Get a webcam Logitech C270 HD 3 MegaPixels 2048x1536, is very good with a clarity of photos and HD video, in addition it has a microphone with RightSound technology that blocks background noise, and RightLight as well for adjusting the light as skin color. I hope you like + Motion Detection
Hi, I also installed virtual box on an external HDD of your samba and on Sunday I left and when I came back I didn't read my program and said that it was missing the VirtualBox COM file. what should i do for it to work or how can i uninstall / delete it from the system so i can install it again thanks in advance
whole thing can be done on VMware???
thank you !!!!
Of course it works :)
I was unable to connect my scanner to the virtual machine running Win XP in any form. It appears in that list, but it gives me an error. This scanner is not installed on the host machine - Win 7. On the other hand I have the same type of USB Blutooth adapter, which is installed on the host machine - Win 7, but which I also can't use on the virtual machine ?!
But the most important thing that would be more useful would be how you can use the fax modem on the host machine, the virtual machine? This is one of the most problematic situations in a virtual machine. I found absolutely nowhere solve this situation! Do you think there are any!
If you didn't run the tutorial, you would definitely find the solution. I said what to do when you receive the error ... but it seems that you unfolded, you thought you were more skilled and what did you say? "what the hell am I going to learn from this? Here I also knew ... let me unfold ..." and you unfolded ...
If you know me so well, even one that does that and then ask salutation ?? !! If you did not I mention that I did what you recommended in the tutorial, I have not run all the way ??? !!!
If you have solution for where we followed your instructions, you'd already offered it as an alternative IN tutorial, but it looks like you did!
And to show you that in fact you don't do these tutorials except to be smart, you take on anyone who just BELIEVES that you don't follow the steps indicated by you, to cover the shortcomings you have in questions in situations that you don't you know them! As proof, you did NOT answer ANYTHING to the problem with the modem-fax on the host computer. Why?! The rhetorical question, obviously ... because you just don't know, because on the other hand what interests you after posting the tutorial and the appearance of the comments is to find real or stubborn defects of those who really want to learn, but who you feel an innate physical need to humiliate them through attitude and language!
If the modem is PCI I do not think that it can use, I do not think virtualbox has support for that type of device, whether it was on the USB can go.
Xantes, this is how I would do it for you with winfax (I hope it will be installed on windows 7- I tried to download it from the net but I didn't find an ok option): suppose you installed winfax in windows 7, I would go to the executable and set it from compatibility to run as if it were installed on windows xp. I mean right-click on the executable-> Properties-> compatibility-> check the "Run this program in" checkbox compatibility mode for: "and choose from the windows xp drop-down list (SP2 or SP3). I repeat, I was not able to download the program, but it still tries and I hope it works. Success ...
