Aha, but you are able to re-enable this option again, right?

Actually I don't know why this happens in your case but I think
the passthrough setting is resetted if the virtual DVD/CDROM device
changes, for example if you switch from the host CDROM to an
.iso image and then back. The same might happen if the host
DVD/CDROM device vanishes, for instance if a laptop is removed
from his dogging station.

Does any of these two options apply to you?

Kind regards,

Frank
