There's an issue with passing through USB audio devices with ESX, it's just not possible. I was contemplating passing through a USB PCIe card and plugging a device in there but since we're feeding across rooms we opted to stream to a hardware stream decoder from our VM for now. We may revisit this in our set up. It's been running on air just over a year now.
