Question using HTC Pro with cradle

[arghknork]

I'm new here and it looks like I've found a great forum for PPC discussions.

I have an HTC Touch Pro (Sprint) and just bought a desk cradle for it. It works great, expecially the part where I run the sound through my speakers. I'm getting a bit hard of hearing and the HTC speakerphone just isn't loud enough for me.

I have a problem I hope someone has a solution for however. When I dock the HTC in the cradle and use it as a speakerphone, it seems to shut off the microphone. I have to pick up the phone to talk. The speakerphone icon grays out when docked. Does anyone know how to get around this, or if it can be corrected? I want to use the phone as a speakerphone while docked and connected to my external speakers.

Thanks in advance.
