Hi there,
I'm having an odd problem. I have a lovely, working install of Ventura running on Proxmox 7.4. Both GPUs (RX580s) pass through successfully. The NVMe drive passes through to boot the OS. All in all, everything I try seems to be working great except for USB.
Currently, I have the system configured to passthrough the USB controller. I'm mildly concerned that the USB controller is in the same IOMMU group as the memory controller, but I'm not seeing any indication of issues related to that. I've experimented variously turning "All Functions" on or off, as well as PCI-Express. They don't seem to have any impact.
I've got some background with hackintoshes and so I am familiar with the usual USB mapping process recommended for OpenCore.
Regardless of what I'm using in terms of USB kexts, including the Dummy version that USBMap creates, USB 2 and below devices show up and are recognized on ANY port. USB 3 devices are not recognized on ANY port. In my experience, a USB device showing up at USB 2 speeds would be irritating, but make sense. However, not showing up at all?
I went ahead and disabled passthrough of the USB controller and instead passed through individual USB 3 devices. This was illustrative. In one example, I plugged in a thumb drive which lights up red. Before booting the VM, the thumb drive lights up red. It flickers off and back on for the Proxmox BIOS screen as the GPUs pass through. Then when MacOS begins to boot, it goes black and doesn't light up again. A USB 2 thumb drive works fine.
There are a number of premade USB maps for my motherboard (a GA-Z690-Gaming X), but none of them work. Trying to roll my own is fruitless, since USB Map doesn't see anything plugged in when I try to attach a USB 3 device.
Anyone seen anything like this? Help? Advice? I'm tearing out my hair.
Thank you!
Ted
Here's the USB and RAM controller, both residing in IOMMU Group 4 on this board.
