Problem with combined multiple sinks

I have 3 sound devices. The first is the monitor's embeded sound device, the 2nd is the onboard audio card and the 3rd is a pci sound card. I have connected different speackers on both sound cards. All work separated.
I' m using this command to combine all 3:

pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name=Combined-cards slaves=alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-9,alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo, alsa_output.pci-0000_05_06.0.analog-stereo,alsa_output.platform-snd_aloop.0.analog-stereo sink_properties="device.description='Combined onboard and monitor cards'"

This work for the onboard soundcard and the monitor's one, but the 3rd card doesn't work. If I chose it to play along it works, but not combined with the others. I tried to change its configuration to pro audio and modify the above command, but again doesn't work. Still can play alone but not combined with the others. Do I need to do something extra which I'm missing?
Here is the sinks output:

		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-3"
		node.nick = "HDMI 0"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-7"
		node.nick = "HDMI 1"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-8"
		node.nick = "HDMI 2"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-9"
		node.nick = "ASUS VP228"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-10"
		node.nick = "HDMI 4"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.pro-output-11"
		node.nick = "HDMI 5"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo"
		node.nick = "ALC662 rev1 Analog"
		node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_05_06.0.analog-stereo"
		node.nick = "ES1371 DAC2/ADC"
		node.name = "alsa_output.platform-snd_aloop.0.analog-stereo"
		node.nick = "Loopback PCM"
		node.name = "Combined-cards"
