Jan 24, 2013 We recently heard some complaints about how VMware Workstation behaves when using USB 3.0 devices. One Tweet said: “Dear @vmware, why do you suck so much at handling USB 3.0 devices with Workstation? Sincerely, ” We wondered if any Knowledgebase articles existed that could mitigate these issues and we were right – two articles. VMware introduced support for USB 3.0 xHCI controllers with VMware Workstation 8, however the compatibility was limited to NEC xHCI driver. Starting with VMware Workstation 9.x and Fusion 5.x, support was extended to all USB 3.0 controllers, if the virtual machine was running Windows 8.

Intel Usb 3. 0 Driver Vmware Download
I am having a tough time in getting USB 3 work with VMWare Player 12 on Windows 7.
Host – Gigabyte 880GM USB3 board with Etron USB 3 controller. AMD Athlon CPU, 12GB RAM, Windows 7 64
Guest – VMWare Player 12, Windows 7 64, 4GB RAM, USB 3 enabled in VM configuration and successfully installed the recommended Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_5.0.3.42 in Guest Windows 7
The issue is when I connect a USB 2 or USB 3 pen drive at Host USB 3 port it is just not detected in the VM at all. Only once it mysteriously appeared but when I tried to connect it gave ‘Host is using the device’ error, but then no files or even explorer window was open on host.
I even tried installing the Etron drivers in Guest but it fails.I think there’s some incompatibility between the Etron Host device and the Intel USB 3 controller driver. There’s no issue with USB 2 ports at all.What else can I try?

The VMware Support articleUSB 3.0 support for Windows 7 virtual machine in VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion (2128105)lists the following conditions:
Intel Usb 3.0 Driver Vmware
- The guest VM must be defined with at least VMWare Workstation 12 compatibility
- In Settings,
USB Controller
, theUSB compatibility
needs to be set to3.0
. - In the virtual machine, download and install the USB3 drivers from theIntel Download Center.
However, not all hardware configurations are supported.The most recent VMware article I have managed to find isHost and guest OS USB 3.0 and virtual xHCI support with Workstation 9 (2041591)which lists the supported configurations,and where the Etron USB3 controller is not listed as supported.
Fullmetal alchemist game online. Even though the article is for Workstation 9 and not Workstation 12,this might be taken as an indication that your controller is unsupported,meaning that you meed to stay with USB2.
