Is it possible redirects only pushbuttons Human Interface Device (HID, not the same headphone audio) to the virtual machine? We want inside the virtual machine the possibility of using these buttons, for instance to mute a conversation in Lync or also perform connection through headphones to press the key that is “on cable” headphones or drop a call.
It is possible when using HDX RealTime Optimization Pack (RTOP) but using it we have another problems with audio and videoWhat we have already tested (settings in WNOS.ini):
Option 1 – Try to force the entire device (Audio and controls) into the VM
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047f,0xc01c,0x01,0x01,0x00 Type=HDX
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047f,0xc01c,0x03,0x00,0x00 Type=HDX
Audio and HID is redirected into VM and there is a poor audio quality – about 4times more bandwidth usage during Lync call when compare it with no redirection. We cannot accept itOption 2 – Audio local and try to force the interface into the VM via HDX
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047f,0xc01c,0x03,0x00,0x00 Type=HDX
Audio and HID is redirected into VM which provides poor audio quality as in option 1Option 3 – Audio local and try to force the interface into the VM via HDX
Device=vusb ForceLocal=0x047f,0xc01c,0x01,0x01,0x00
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047f,0xc01c,0x03,0x00,0x00 Type=HDX
Audio and HID is redirected into VMIf the device has more than one USB ID (one for audio, one for HID), then it should be possible.
You can also try with InterfaceRedirect=yes (Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x1,0x1,0x1,0x1,0x1 Type=HDX InterfaceRedirect=yes)Other than that, no way.

I tried this:
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047F,0xC01C,0x03,0x00,0x00 Type=HDX InterfaceRedirect=yes
and this:
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x047F,0xC01C,0x01,0x01,0x00 Type=HDX InterfaceRedirect=yesbut in both cases the whole device was redirected into VM – both audio and HID part. Anyone has ever been able to do this?
bartlomiej.belko, ConfGen hello.
We have the same case and the same result. (redirect Jabra Evolve 20 into VM through Wyse thin client)
We also try ForceLocal, but in all options the same result. So as we guess in all options there is only full device redirection.
VMware Solution: This is an example of a PowerMic II
You could SPLIT the composite device, so we can leave some of the components locally on the ThinOS device. Group Policy settings are required.
Horizon Agent:
We turned off “Allow Auto Device Splitting” so we could control the process.
We setup the GPO to “Split Vid/Pid Device.
o:vid-0554_pid-1001(exintf:00;exintf:01;exintf:02)
How did we determine the Interface numbers?
From the VMware Client debug logs (on a Windows PC) you can determine the sub-interfaces of a composite device. C:\ProgramData\VMware\VDM\logs\debug-*.txt
In this example, we see the four interfaces of a Nuance PowerMicIII.
<vmware-usbd> [vmware-remotemks] DevFltr: Interface [0] – Family(s): audio
<vmware-usbd> [vmware-remotemks] DevFltr: Interface [1] – Family(s): audio,audio-in
<vmware-usbd> [vmware-remotemks] DevFltr: Interface [2] – Family(s): audio,audio-out
<vmware-usbd> [vmware-remotemks] DevFltr: Interface [3] – Family(s): hid
In WNOS.ini (Or MAC.ini / SN.ini) add the following line to FORCE the USB redirection. Note, the USB Redirection must be installed in the VDI desktop as part of the Horizon Agent.
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x0554,0x1001,0x00,0x00,0x00 Type=PCoip
FROM A THINOS device: you see the following.
ThinOS Device logs. Insert a PowerMic II device…
Event logs show the following.

Hello Twilley!
Nice solution!
But if we dont have Horizon Agent, is it possible to do the same with xendesktop 7.2+thin OS 8.0 (on dell wyse 5010)+VSphere VMs.
I just have citrix studio and its options.
