Does the driver get installed on the host or the vm?
Neither, this applies to the client. The host just creates virtual USB
hub and "plugs" redirected USB devices into it and guest sees the
devices just as if they'd be plugged physically.
Client system OTOH needs to handle the device in an unusual way so that
spice/usbredir gets raw control over it - that's the reason why you need
the WinUSB driver to be used for the device prior to actual redirection.
On linux clients, a short-lived binary does similar magic with udev.

Hi Maurice,
I suppose you use Windows client, is it the case? If so, yo either have
to install WinUSB driver for each device manually, or you need to build
usbclerk service, or you need some other tool such as zadig. See this
archived post for reference:

If you use Linux client, it's either misconfiguration on your part or by
your distribution, or it is a bug.
Sharing basic info always helps others help you!
Regards,
David
