In order to get USB 2 to work for you (possibly also Camera and Mic) ; 
use  Oracle VirtualBox with the extensions, not OSE.
Oracle VirtualBox is GPL licensed , the extensions are licensed for 
Personal Use.

    
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html
    - see bottom of this web page for the extensions

Look at this section of the wiki for more information and to download 
VirtualBox Prebuilt importable Appliances.
