I have experienced problems with USB also. My guest is Windows 8.1. When I try to access the USB device from Windows, the access fails and then everything inside the VM seems to start misbehaving. I cannot properly shutdown the VM - I have to kill the VBox process. If I don't try to use the USB device, everything works fine.

Hi,
I experienced Virtualbox 4.3.14 x86_64 as broken, when I tried to sync an iPad2 with iTunes running on a XP SP3 guest. I only tested it with USB2 enabled, since it worked with 4.3.12.
Usually I use the packages virtualbox, virtualbox-host-dkms, virtualbox-extension-pack and I add the guest additions, that fit to the used vbox version.
Because I wasted much time with trying to use 4.3.14, I did an incomplete downgrade to 4.3.12 yet, since I'm short in time, but even with
virtualbox 4.3.12-1 virtualbox-host-dkms 4.3.12-1 no extension pack, no USB2 and with wrong guest additions, version 4.3.14, I get rid of the issues.
I will complete the downgrade on my machine ASAP and IMO the community packages should be downgraded for the repositories too.
Do others experienced issues with Virtualbox 4.3.14 USB too?
Since I'm short in time I only reported the bug to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41424 I didn't find a related bug, just 4 completely other vbox bug reports.
https://www.virtualbox.org/search?q=4.13.14&noquickjump=1&ticket=on results in "No matches found." https://www.virtualbox.org/search?q=usb&noquickjump=1&ticket=on gives tons of hits, no time to care about them right now
