It sounds like you've got a problem in editbasic.php or changebasic.php Double check those intructions. Make sure you've modified the query to grab the current settings of on or off. My guess is that the fields or variables haven't been added, and without a value, its going back to the default.
Then the sound always playing and the query on the bottom of the page, I'm not sure. That query has nothing to do with this.... that's a query to update someone's user Rating. So that makes me think you are missing a } somewhere in ubbt.inc.php. Double check those files as well.
