Even the simplest $10 ohmmeter will easily let you test it yourself. Get a normal stereo patch cable with a 3.5mm plug on each end. Plug one end into your adapter. Then use the ohmmeter to see which part of each plug is connected through the adapter. I've done this with both of my adapters, and both pass the signals straight through - tip to tip, ring to ring, sleeve to sleeve. If yours does the same thing (and works correctly with your 6800), then I just need to get Sprint to give me a working adapter. If yours does something different, then obviously HTC is doing something weird - and a new adapter won't change anything.
Come to think of it, you don't really even need to test it. All you have to do is look at it. If the 2.5mm plug on your adapter has a tip and TWO rings, then you might want to test it to see what's going where. If it only has one ring, then there really isn't much room for doubt. So take a look - is it a TRS plug or a TRRS plug?
Obviously, I don't expect you to run out and buy an ohmmeter just to answer my question, but if you have one handy it might help to clear this up. Either way, thanks for all the consultation.
