How to connect Audio 2 MK1 to MS Surface via Micro USB and power the tablet at the same time?

Is it possible to connect an Audio 2 HW to a MS Surface via Micro USB and still charge the tablet? Which connection/cable can be used for connection. (Mikro USB Port is data+charging port)

The second port (USB A) is used by the controller and the use of a USB hub should be avoided due to latency issues.

You may also power MS Surface (at least Pro one) using provided power adapter. It does not go to USB ports, but below it to the narrow cca 3/4 inch long slot (connector).

It works well, if you meant powering from electricity plug.... In case of need to power from battery, one could use a special USB cable, but you would have DIY or get it done by someone skilled....

It's an Surface 3 device. It works perfectly for audio but unfortunately only has one type A USB and Mikro USB connection. It probably needs some special kind of Y type cable that one can buy or convert cleverly/skilled. I'm grateful for all tips and hints.
