Mounting non-usb devices on Virtualbox VM

Question

I have Windows 7 running on bare metal. I have a Haupage TV tuner card installed on there that Win 7 detects and runs smoothly.

I have now installed Vitualbox on Win7, and created a Ubuntu VM. I would like to mount that tuner card to that VM.

Vitualbox lets you map USB devices to VMs, but not any other non-USB devices. Can this be done ? Are there other Hypervisors out there that let you do this?

EDIT 1 - My virtualbox setup already has extensions installed. EDIT 2 - The device i would like to map to the VM is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 PCI Card mounted on PCI Bus (got that info from Device manager in Windows).

Answer 1

I'm assuming that by a non-USB device you mean PCI or PCIExpress device.

VirtualBox has experimental support for PCI passthrough via an extension. However, support is only available on Linux hosts and only with certain hardware.

Answer 2

If you haven't already, install Guest Additions. You can download the version-specific one on the VirtualBox website.

Which non-USB devices you want to mount?
