Hi,
I have virtualbox-ose-4.3.16 and virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.3.16 installed on 
my PC-BSD (FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p8 amd64 GENERIC). I tried to connect DJ 
mixer Rane TTM57SL and pass it's USB device (Serato sound card + special 
HID) to VBox guest Windows 7 Ultimated 32bit.

I correctly set the USB filter, started the VM and then got following error:

Failed to attach the USB device Serato TTM57SL to the virtual machine 
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: 
VERR_READ_ERROR).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}


VBoxManage lists the device (the last one):

Device permissions are OK:

# ls -l /dev/ugen1.4
lrw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  9 Feb  9 18:33 /dev/ugen1.4 -> usb/1.4.0

VirtualBox is running as root.

Is USB passthrough supported on this version of VirtualBox?

Should I have some special settings on host to allow this device for 
VBox guest?
