USB pass through problems

[jimig1]

So I have had a Windows 10 image running an pretty stable for a couple weeks and I just got a Logitech c920 web cam and the pass through will not work with isolcpus enabled to fix an audio problem. When I disable isolcpus the cam will work but I randomly lose my mouse function. this is on unraid 6.1.4. The mouse only stops working when the cam is on.

 

I get an error in the log

 

libusb: error [_open_sysfs_attr] open /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationValue failed ret=-1 errno=2
libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] File doesn't exist, wait 10 ms and try again

libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/002: No such file or directory

 

 

here is my XML

I have tried using the usb 3 port and enabling <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'> and nothing shows in the logs and windows can see the cam but the mouse stops working again after a few minutes. below is the XML with the usb3 enabled.

I have upgraded to 6.1.5 but the same problem.

I had similar issues and eventually resorted to passing an entire USB3 add on card through to the VM to fix the headache!

[jimig1]

I was thinking about getting one and trying that. Now I will go get one.

How did you go about passing through the entire add on card?

I got a pcie USB 3 card and passed it through and all seems to working now.

[CommandLionInterface]

Anyone have any ideas? I don't really have a USB card lying around and I'd rather not buy one if I can avoid it.
