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.
