I just tried, but there's no beep on the right channel (at least not now).
However, on this channel, when I switch the audio channel (left/stereo/right)
I do experience a slight difference (mostly a difference in the background noise),
while on others there is no difference at all.

I found another channel on this transponder:

CH 1 RUS-ORTi;GlobeCast:12597:vC34:S13.0E:27500:167:108,109:0:0:8208:318:9400:0

This one has two audio PIDs, and on the second one there are two different
speakers on each channel. However, on this channel I don't experience any
change when switching the audio channel. Can you please verify whether you
can?

If the latest driver and FW as well as that from 8.11.2003 work for you then
I guess it's not a driver/firmware issue.
