I tried to configure my system like described below. I stopped the
sys-usb VM and assigned the USB controller to which the headset is
connected to the Windows HVM. When trying to start it the following
error appears:
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...

I tried to connect the headet to a different USB controller and assign
that to the Windows HVM to no avail:

What did I miss in my configration? I have VT-d and VT-x enabled (I'm on
a i7-3520M CPU).

Dear Qubes user community,
I want to use a USB headset (Jabra Evolve) for the purpose of using my
laptop as a replacement for a desktop phone. Is that possible with
Qubes? If so, what are the settings I need to tweak for that?
Can I use it also inside a Windows HVM to enable the use of proprietary
conferencing software from Cisco? I have tried it using a Windows VM
with VirtualBox on CentOS 7. That worked, although the audio quality is
pretty bad. Do I need special settings for my Windows HVM in order to
use the headset?
Regards,
Stephan
I did a similar thing with my sound card that requires proprietary Windows only
drivers to operate.
First, check whether VT-d is available and enabled on your laptop with xl
dmesg|grep VT-d
Second, identify the number of available USB controllers with sudo lspci|grep
USB. If you have more than one controller, assign it to Windows HVM.
Within Windows HVM install USB controller driver (if it's a USB 3.0 or later)
and then install drivers for the headset (if required).
I am able to use the soundcard in the Windows HVM with no problems so you
should too. Remember to enable VT-d in BIOS/UEFI first.
