I have the same issue on MacOS Ventura 13.0, guest system Windows 10.

As recommended here https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=107333, I tried to install VB 6.1.40, but it didn't work on Ventura at all.

I think it has nothing to do with the guest system because I also tried Windows 7, Windows XP as guest systems.

Using USB filters won't work either.

Thanks to a guy Matafaga, I managed to get USB connected on MacOS Ventura 13.0 with VB 7.0.2:

  1. Start VB using "sudo virtualbox"
  2. Go to your guest OS settings->Ports->USB and select "USB 3.0 (xHCI)"
  3. Then just start your guest OS and USB devices should work. No need to use USB filters.

Same issue is still happening in Virtualbox 7.0.4.

"sudo virtualbox" is not a viable solution or workaround. Mac users need a proper fix for this.

Same problem. USB disks won't work with MacOS 13 host.

This is currently under investigation and the problem description was passed to Apple, waiting for a response from them.

I still have this issue on VB 7.0.6 and MacOS Ventura 13.1

BTW, after "sudo virtualbox" command the virtual machine becomes inaccessable. You can fix this by sudo chown -R my_user V_MACHINE_FOLDER
