VM-Pass Through
I am trying to setup passthrough correctly, but am a little confused.  Can someone please clarify from the screenshoot which selections I should be making?

I have added it in pass through mode and it is running.  I have also added it as a PCI in the VM hardware. User generated image

Got it thanks.  The first article you sent states that you can only select 2 devices at a time.  When I selected only the USB2 device, everything worked.  Thanks again!

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
