Running Windows 10 Professional under UNRAID 6.2 with a dedicated GPU, and that all works great.

 

If I plug my Oculus Rift in and enable the many (many) USB pass-throughs, everything other than the Rift Sensor is detected - the headset, the Rift controller, the XBOne controller, the Rift audio. The sensor just isn't detected at all by the Rift software. I've tried all my USB 3.0 ports (that's a hassle), I've even tried a separate PCI-E USB3.0 card* which I've configured UNRAID to "ignore", but the moment I plug anything into it, the VM crashes, and if I plug anything in before booting the VM, the VM refuses to boot.

 

Is anyone successfully using the Rift with a VM?

Hey pmuk,

 

Just wanting to give you my two cents on this topic. I have an Oculus Rift that is working inside a Windows 10 VM.

 

Inateck KT4005: This card uses the Renesas chipset and as you might have found out by now, that is "not supported" by Oculus Home even on a bare metal setup or at least that is what others have reported.

 

My Solution: I ended up passing through my onboard USB Controller and using my extra PCIe USB 3.0 card for the unRaid thumb drive; this is a little cumbersome, but effective.

 

Another Solution: You can try the Inateck card that is recommended by Oculus on their forums: https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-E-Expansion/dp/B00FPIMICA

 

Let me know if I can help with getting this working for ya!

 

Thanks!
