That's very odd, the init script should store your settings in the
following section:
if [ "$alsactl_store_on_shutdown" = "true" ]; then
printf "Storing ALSA mixer settings ... "
if alsactl store > /dev/null 2>&1; then
sleep 1
echo "done."
else
echo "failed"
fi
fi
The control variable $alsactl_store_on_shutdown is set to true at the
beginning of the script and then read from /etc/defaults/alsa. You
might check to see if it's set to something other than 'true' in
/etc/defaults/alsa. Beyond that, you could execute the init script via
"sh -x" so all commands are echo'd as they are executed. This might
give an idea of why alsactl isn't storing the settings.

Do you by chance have two alsa config files in /etc/modutils?

Some sound cards have multiple dsp output devices, the yamaha chip in
the laptop just might. An strace of audacity's startup might give some
information. Other than that I really don't know.
