To fix the error, install the VirtualBox Extension Pack into your host VirtualBox. Make sure you also have the Guest Additions installed on the guest.
You may need to enable the USB 2.0 controller from the VM settings under Settings>Ports>USB:

This helped! But do note that the virtual machine must be off to change the USB version. – boileau – 2016-09-16T08:10:47.003
