Sound BlasterX AE-5 not working

[Oliver Z.]

Since a couple of month i am trying to get that sound card working.
First it seemed to be a pulseaudio problem but now it looks like its an 
alsa/kernel issue.

with some help from #alsa we figured out its the same problem as 
mentioned here: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/935

with everything connected:

i would love to have this soundcard working.
i had to buy a cheap usb soundcard now to get my headset working on 
linux (fedora 33).
on windows it works as expected
