December 18, 20169 yr I purchased a cheap BT usb dongle from amazon, and when I connect it to my vm (Win 10) and pass through the USB itself, the VM sees it fine. Until I start trying to use it. Then the BT keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and wont allow any devices to pair (or be paired/connected for more than a few seconds) So I passed through a 3.1 USB pci device (came with my mobo) when I initially set it up, everything worked like a dream, it was amazing! but now the PC no longer recognizes the BT dongle. and Device manager says it had to disable the pci device due to issues. re enabling doesn't bring it back. Neither does rebooting the VM. I'm going to assume I just got a bad dongle, but was wondering if anyone had a suggestion. Or even a link to a model that works well with VMs. Thanks!
December 19, 20169 yr This is a good dongle that works with usb passthrough and usb controller pass through https://www.amazon.co.uk/COOLEAD-Ultra-Mini-Bluetooth-Dongle-Adapter-x/dp/B00WMEVBV4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1482156441&sr=8-5&keywords=Ultra-Mini+Bluetooth+4.0+USB

I'm looking for a bluetooth dongle that Unraid will see and allow me to easily passthrough and work in a W10vm. Would like it for game controller.
September 23, 20205 yr Unfortunately no i tried everything I am going have to try another dongle. I did have an asus pci card that had both wifi and Bluetooth that worked for Bluetooth but not wifi which is fine but I wanted a usb one so I wouldn't loose a pci slot Cheers Taza
