Anybody have any idea why a usb headset might not show up in a list of 
devices for virtualbox? I'm running virtualbox 5.0 on ubuntu vivid. When 
I list usb devices with 'vboxmanage list usbhost', I see my usb keyboard 
and kvm but not my usb headset. In fact, I have 2 usb headsets plugged 
into the machine and neither of them are listed. They both work though. 
I can get sound from the ubuntu host through them.

It's not the problem where you have to add yourself to the vboxusers 
group. If you don't do that, nothing is listed when you run 'vboxmanage 
list usbhost'. I already added myself to that group and the keyboard and 
kvm show up.
