Coming to this late; apologies if the following has already been
suggested.

Double check the VirtualBox version(s) you have installed on the
working vs the non-working system, if you still have a working system
to compare with. I seem to recall that earlier versions didn't support
USB properly (or did - something to do with USB anyway). Sorry to
guess; I don't use USB with VirtualBox, so no experience there.

You can download any older version from virtualbox.org, so you can
match versions with your working system. If you are definitely running
identical versions, then I guess the issue has to be with changes to
Ubuntu itself. USB does get changed under the hood a fair bit (though
usually for the better!)

Don't put yourself down. Getting confused is not confined to the
elderly, I assure you. I have the stabbed, burned, shot-up and stomped
on ex-hardware to prove it.[1]

stuff there would be a LOT of wreckage around the house.
