Quest Link freezes when charging headset via wall adapter

Hi everyone! I recently bought a Quest 3 mainly to play Assetto Corsa, and I've been using it without issues with a generic Link cable. The only downside was that the cable doesn’t provide enough power to charge the headset during use, so the battery slowly drains.

To solve this, I bought one of those Link cables that comes with a wall power adapter to charge the headset while playing. However, I’ve been having problems with it.

When I use the new cable with the charging adapter connected, Quest Link keeps freezing randomly. The PC and the game itself keep running normally—it's just the Link connection that freezes completely.

This only happens when the wall adapter is connected. If I use the same cable without plugging in the adapter (just through USB 3.0), everything works fine and no freezing occurs.

The freezes don’t seem to follow any specific pattern; sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, other times after 30 minutes. I've tried different power adapters (from 18W to 25W), but the issue remains the same.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions? I’d really appreciate any help!
