Hi,

What sample rate are you using? Is your audio device configured for 
surround. Most likely your USB audio device is eating all the USB 
bandwidth in the Host OS leaving your other USB devices non-responsive. 
This is a well known issue. USB audio has priority over mouse and 
keyboard. This will not happen if you install FreeBSD on your computer 
instead of running it inside a VM.

Can you supply more details about USB devices connected to your computer?
