This is a very annoying thing with all audio backends that are currently supported: advanced audio settings will only apply on an open audio stream. None of the backends remember settings when no stream is currently active. I've tried adding some hacks here and there to make most settings be carried over to the next active stream, but it's definitely not exhaustive.
