This was a test for command-line vs putting it in a script. Your cases
both use putting it i n a script, so this won't tell you anything.

I'm not sure I am clear here what you want me to try. I tried putting
the command in a function in the script as below but it still didn't work.

Does it perhaps only apply in the process that issues the command?
That would make it apply when run from the command-line, and (appear
to) fail when you run it in a subshell, which is what happens when
you call a script.
The man page doesn't say, so try making it a shell function,
alsa_me() {
alsa_out -j secondInterface -d hw:3 -c 6
}
and then call that from the command-line.
The thing is I want to avoid using the command line. I want a user to
just double click the file to run it.

Ok, just added the path /usr/bin to the command but it didn't help.
Still a mystery?

I'm having trouble with a simple script. It adds a second
sounccard. This command works on the command line but not in a
script. Any ideas why?
Did you specify the full path to the command in the script?
