Consider yourself lucky that you have to do it only on a new install. My default audio device is broken after every reboot, and I have to reset it every time.
I sometimes have to do it again after some (but not all) updates. Never figured out a common factor for which kinds of updates break it.
Everyone tries to convince me that the default audio device gets saved/memorized. I remain stubbornly unconvinced.
I wonder if it is an audio device that takes a long time to initialize and the "restore audio" logic says "I can't find that, I'll use the default, that must be what he wants."
