pass through keyboard/mouse via KVM? (Fixed)

Im trying to connect to a Windows 10 VM via a KVM HDMI switch.

https://www.easycoolav.com/products/hdmi20-switch-4x1-with-usb30-kvm-4-port-usbsupport-4k60hz-444-and-hdr-audio-breakout

 

the GPU part is working. atleast when i start the VM. The screen goes black after a while and i cant see it anymore on the monitor. When i RDP into it it works.

 

But when i try to pass through my keyboard and mouse which are connection to the above linked HDMI switch it does not work.

 

My main computer is also connected to it and that works.

 

In unraid i dont see a change either when i connect the USB to the unraid server. i dont see added entries or entries removed when i disconnect it again.

 

I also added an extra USB card with 2 usb 3.1 on it. Unraid also does not see that one. Its possible this card is not working or drivers missing? i took the card from a other system but never actually used it so im not sure if the card was working before.

 

EDIT:

i removed the USB card and added an USB adapter that i can plugin into the mainboard. At first i was thinking it does not work but then i switched to that feed and it got powered.

 

So i added the 2 things in my Windows VM settings. And it works.

 

BUT. when i switch to a other computer and than back its broken again i have to manual attach the KB and mouse again then it works.

So i guess i need to isolate that adapter in unraid and pass the whole adapter to the VM ?

i fixed it by attacking a usb3.0 cable on the mainboard and bind that group to the VM. SO it all works now when i switch from VM without reattaching manually the kb/mouse to the VM.

 

I will look at your plugin but not sure i need it now. Thx anyway for the response and my late reply :)
