Can't Charge without HTC audio adapter connected

[flyinonice4]

When connecting my touch pro to my computer, I am now forced to connect the audio cable that came with the touch pro to my usb cable. I know that the usb cable isnt going bad as I connect many other devices with it without a problem. However, to transfer any data or to charge my phone via the computer I have to have that audio adapter connected otherwise it wont do anything. I have tried it with different computers and the same thing happens. Using the same cable connected to the wall charger allows the touch pro to charge without the adapter. Has anyone noticed anything like this?

On a side note, I cant get my old razr charger to work with the touch pro unless that audio adapter is connected as well. I know that this isn't something that normal people deal with and that is why I chose to say it on the side.
