What do you mean by "noise in nth output starting from 1 instead, relatively hight frequency light clicking"? How were you testing exactly? speaker-test? if so what're the "-D"s you used? Can you paste full commands (and maybe even the text output). What you said doesn't seem to make sense. If surround51 works, then surround41 and surround20 should at most cause a signal/speaker mismatch. I don't see how it can produce some weird noise/click.
