I have a SB Audigy Gamer with WinXP Pro. I have the latest drivers and
patches for both.  This is all connected to a Klipsch 4.1 speaker setup.

The problem is that when I perform the surround speaker test from the
Creative Surround Mixer's "Speaker" tab in Advanced Settings, I hear each
speaker pos and number correctly, but my rear left is ALWAYs louder
(noticably).  I have fiddled with all the settings I can find, made sure the
wiring is correct, etc. but can't figure out why this one channel is
noticibly louder than the rest.

I suspect my Klipsch speaker connections (inside the speakers themselves)
are a bit loose (as I have to wiggle the cord to get the connection "just
right", else no sound out of that particular speaker), could this be the
problem?   I would think so, but the remaining 3 speakers are quieter than
the rear left.

Thanks,
