Hi Stephen,

Have you added your device to the filter list? You need to explicitelly
tell VBox which USB device on the host you want mapped to the guest.

AFAIK, when you add a USB device to the VM, you are removing it from the
host machine (you can´t see it from both at once, in other words).

See this guide

Hope this helps!
