I can't be sure your SB behaves exactly as mine does, but if it does
this proves what you are hearing is indeed a type of placebo effect. 
In my SB a change of this sort takes (typically) around 30 seconds to
manifest itself.  The exact amount of time may vary from trial to
trial, but it's never been anything close to two seconds.  That's
because the player buffer is pretty large, so making a change has an
effect only after the buffer has run out and the next packet of
information gets played, and that takes a while.

You can easily verify whether this is the case in your system in any
number of ways; I suggest listening directly to the analogue outs and
then changing the preamp attenuation level to see how long it takes to
mute.
