I experienced that also with my Audigy plantinum. It seems to me a problem with the test file as it doesnt show up with other test files (i.e. THX setup test on the X-Men DVD - It tests levels on all six channels using an AC-3 encoded file). I have a discrete 6 channel amp and separate speakers and I know the problem is not with them. So I just chalk it up to being yet another thing wrong with Audigy software. Since it doesnt affect music or DVDs for me I just ignore the difference in that one speaker since it only happens with the test button. Unless you are having level problems with that speaker I would ignore it.
