If the device was plugged in already, it keeps working after starting VB, but when trying to capture it, the device stalls, showing the error that the device is ""busy with a previous request"" and it stays in that state until VB is closed. I have encountered this problem with multiple versions, but i finally decided to find the cause (with the latest version). In both VBoxUsbMon.sys and VBoxUsb.sys, Usb Request Blocks (URBs) are sent to get the vendor/product id and device strings while the device is initializing. However, the available languages for the strings aren't retrieved from the device first; instead language id 0 is used. Most devices seem to accept this, but my phone does not. I have verified this by overwriting the language field. The device could then be switched between my host and guest without issue. I imagine this could affect other host platforms (and USB devices) as well, but was unable to verify this. The solution would be to first retrieve USB string index 0 to determine the available languages and set the language field to a supported value for any other indices.
