unable to passthrough the xbox wireless usb antenna

[MrnMrk]

My PVE is hosting a windows 10 VM with a 3060 Ti I use as remote gaming machine. I have been trying to use my xbox controller with the wireless antenna, it doesnt work.
Windows read and installs the driver for the device but i am unable to pair the controller and the LED for pairing does not turn on. Anyone knows what to do?

There are primarily 2 ways to pass through USB devices.
1. USB Port itself
2. Using USB Vendor/Device ID

Which option did you use to pass through? Using Vendor/Device ID will have better chance of working.

It should be noted here, that not 100% of all USB devices will work using Pass through.

hi, thanks for the quick reply. I have tried both of the ways, either both end with the same problem: windows is able to read the antenna but it doesnt work. What would be the solution?

Try this on Proxmox host:
1. $nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. Add this to the file - blacklist mt76x2u
3. Save and Exit
4. $update-initramfs -u
5. Reboot Proxmox node
6. Uninstall the adapter, reboot Windows then reinstall the drivers.

Also check Proxmox node syslog for any errors may be taking place. You may have to blacklist a different device than the one I have mentioned.

I did find this on reddit and i tested it already, doesnt work, however as you said im not sure that is the exact device i have to blacklist, how would i see that?

I solved the problem, for some reason i neglected a detail, the xbox wireless adapter was made for Windows, so i googled a little and i found an aftermarket library for compatible drivers: https://github.com/medusalix/xone. This driver fixed my problem
