Hello

I have purchased XBOX Wireless USB adapter and was able to test it and sync it to a controller on my PC.

 

However when I add plug it in to my Unraid server and pass it to Windows 10 VM it shows up in the Device Manager, but it won't sync to a controller, the controller just keeps flashing when I hit the sync button.

 

Doing some reading it looks like it might help if I pass the entire USB controller instead of just the single device.

 

I have Supermicro X10SRL-F motherboard with 4 USB ports on the back of the motherboard, and then I have 2 ports in the case that I connected to USB headers on the MB. I plugged different devices to every single port so I can identify them.

 

I ran this command from Spaceinvader video: for usb_ctrl in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb* -maxdepth 0 -type l); do pci_path="$(dirname "$(realpath "${usb_ctrl}")")"; echo "Bus $(cat "${usb_ctrl}/busnum") --> $(basename $pci_path) (IOMMU group $(basename $(realpath $pci_path/iommu_group)))"; lsusb -s "$(cat "${usb_ctrl}/busnum"):"; echo; done 

 

These are the results:

Bus 1 --> 0000:00:1a.0 (IOMMU group 23)
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:800a Intel Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

Bus 2 --> 0000:00:1d.0 (IOMMU group 28)

Bus 3 --> 0000:00:14.0 (IOMMU group 21)

Bus 4 --> 0000:00:14.0 (IOMMU group 21)
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

 

Bus 5 --> 0000:04:00.2 (IOMMU group 31)
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

 

Bus 6 --> 0000:04:00.2 (IOMMU group 31)
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

 

It looks like every single USB port is on the same Bus 2,  so I cannot pass them through because it will affect my Unraid flash drive?

 

Does this mean I have to buy USB PCI-E card and hopefully pass that to the VM? Any cheap recommended PCI-E x1 cards that work with Supermicro MB?

 

Thanks

I have purchased this card Inateck 2-Port Pci-E USB 3.0 Express Card and was able to pass it to VMs by using append vfio-pci.ids=1b73:1100

 

I can now assign the entire controller to my VMs and my XBOX controller was able to sync properly.
