The same happened again to me -- i.e., my alert sound preference got reset.
This was after a pureos (debian based) update.
uname -a =-> Linux LionPure 4.19.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.160-2 (2020-11-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
man 7 dconf =-> mentions that gsettings wraps unstable api gconf, so I poked
a little, but no time right now. HTH someone else go further :)

As you recall from previously (here I've re-selected sonar.ogg :),

BTW, do you or anyone know if there is a CRUD[1]-log that can be enabled,
to log *EVERY* CRUD change to any persistent storage during system
(debian in this case) updates? That can't be a new idea ;)
(Maybe it's hard in the context of something signed that runs privileged
to do updates before rebooting to grub? )
Also, is there a standard policy somewhere for preserving/migrating content state
when installing a replacement storage box for the content?
If it is too much work to write migration code when storage internals or apis
change, couldn't it just be policy to mark the old box as box.old_NNN instead
of deleting/overwiting it, and emit (and log) a simple hint?
