My guess is that you have paused playback rather than stopping playback. Try clicking the Stop button.

We have long been aware of this shortcoming - there is an outstanding proposal in the Audacity to fix this.
See: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Propo ... Pause_mode

Would you like me to add your vote for this?
