Thank you for your reply. I upgraded VirtualBox to version 4.3.20_4 but 
now I have a different problem.

I must modified devd/usb.conf to disable loading of kernel modules 
snd_uaudio and uhid, I also disabled webcamd because it was launched by 
USB device connect event. I also tried to stop devd.

The problem is, that Windows 7 in VirtualBox does see the Serato USB 
device as Sound card (listed in Windows Device Manager)

# VBoxManage list usbhost

UUID:               d692318e-eff6-4aeb-8acc-c4a0b8d48dcd
VendorId:           0x13e5 (13E5)
ProductId:          0x0003 (0003)
Revision:           0.0 (0000)
Port:               0
USB version/speed:  0/1
Manufacturer:       Serato
Product:            TTM57SL
SerialNumber:       TTM.01.00
Address:            /dev/ugen1.4
Current State:      Captured

but when I run Serato Scratch Live or drivers install, the device 
disappeared from the guest.


VBoxManage shows it as Busy and with different UUID and different ProductId


# VBoxManage list usbhost

UUID:               7dff504b-adea-4740-b146-0d2c487dd961
VendorId:           0x13e5 (13E5)
ProductId:          0x8003 (8003)
Revision:           0.0 (0000)
Port:               0
USB version/speed:  0/1
Manufacturer:       Serato
Product:            TTM57SL
SerialNumber:       TTM.01.00
Address:            /dev/ugen1.4
Current State:      Busy


These two lines are written in to /var/log/messages in the event of the 
disappearance from guest.

Feb 13 00:02:18 xxx kernel: ugen1.4: <Serato> at usbus1 (disconnected)
Feb 13 00:02:19 xxx kernel: ugen1.4: <Serato> at usbus1


Is there something more I can try to tune up?
