andy...i know sound and stuff is passed through and redirected from Hosts to Vm's in such as VMWARE and virtualbox..........also they support re-directing of USB devices. EVen between MS hosts and Linux VM's or vice versa.
However HYPER V on Msoft platform does NOT do any of this re-directing when you are going from MS Hosts to Linux VM's or the other way around.............HYPER V only supports sound etc with MS hosts to MS Vm's....and it only supports certain USB devices via "enhanced mode" (audio USB cards and USB cameras etc are NOT supported)..
THese tools i mention above get around those HYPER V limitations.
i want to use HYPER V because it is so much better in respect of the fact it's a Level ONE bare metal server.....unlike VMware etc are level TWO servers.
thanks

it is all there.....the theory is all also true for virtual Ethernet (Default Switch) that you have in your Linux Client VM's on Hyper V....(host windows machine USB server)

Hi all.
i found another FREE tool to allow sharing of connected USB devices on a windows machine....with Linux VM's running in Hyper-V.
"virtualhere"
The trial isn't locked or timed but it only allows ONE usb device to be shared at any one time between Windows Host and Linux VM.....(or vice versa...or Macs/Lin etc)
The Linux Client of "virtualhere" is completely free to run as a Linux GUI and not as a Linux service.
The free windows "virtualhere" server just runs on windows as a GUI.
When it says shared , i think it actually DOES mean that both the windows machine and the Linux VM can both use the physically connected USB device in question "at the same time"....although i am not totally certain of that. It may be one of the other.
THe only requirement for "virtualhere" to work is that the Linux distro in question has "usbip" compiled in it's Kernel. Does TCL have that?
"virtualhere" .. also offers a cloud version, so that your cloud machines with AWS can all see local usb devices on your local desktop machine and use them.
thx

as per:
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-4.19.10-tinycore
--- Code: ---CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
--- End code ---

THanks Juanto....i will try to get this "virtualhere" working.........
so "m" is MODE is it?.....meaning it IS functional?
the Linux GUI of the "virtualhere USB Client" tool is a free download but then it would need to be made into a tcz.
The "virtualhere windows USB Server" is just a free download.
But i think you could also use "dCore" which may indeed have the "virualhere" tool in the Ubuntu or Debian repos right away.
All USB devices are supported via this tool....... Camera's , soundcards, mice, microphones etc
thx
