devices op de host zijn niet zomaar in de VB client te gebruiken:

1) installeer/activeer Extensions pack en  Guest Additions -- zit dacht
ik in één van de menu's

2) je username moet in de groep vboxusers staan

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20021300/usb-devices-are-not-recognized-in-virtualbox-linux-host

Short answer:

Execute sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME vboxusers, log out and log in again.

Long Answer:

Close virtualbox
Execute in bash (for Debians): sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME
	vboxusers. If you don't have a Debian-like distro, read here.
	    Log out and log in again
	        Attach to your PC the USB devices you want to be
		automatically mounted in the VM (virtual machine).
		    Open Virtualbox
		        Select your VM and go to "Machine" -> "Settings"
			-> "USB".
			    Check "Enable USB Controller"; click on the
			    icon with the USB plug and the plus, and
			    click on the devices you want to be
			    automatically mounted in the VM. Click "Ok".
			        Click on "Start" toolbar button, and
				ensure your USB devices are recognized
				and mounted by the VM. Remember that you
				have to unmount them in the host OS too
				if you have to disconnect them after you
				exit the VM.

				Note that Extensions Pack and Guest
				Additions are not strictly required, but
				with Extension Pack you can use USB 2.0.
				You have also to enable it under USB
				settings. Without it all your USB
				devices are controlled as USB 1.0, so
				they will work at lower speed.
