when I try to test LFE (from sound UI) I have weird noise in one of rear
speakers. There are no such problems with any other mode though (I see that
officially only 5.1 mode is supported, however 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 all work
fine), I decided to leave 2.1 mode for now, not sure whose fault is that.

It is strange that pcm state is open
