Ok, Something I just discovered is if I disable the soundcard for pulseaudio in pavucontrol. Clicking on the script works. I still find it strange however that this is not the case if I run the script on the command line. It runs regardless.

My guess is environment variable.  Maybe you got some variable as "normal shell variable" instead of "environment variable".  Script will get environment variables, but not normal shell variables.

Hello,

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?

The command line is:

alsa_out -j secondInterface -d hw:3 -c 6


or in a script :

#!/bin/bash
alsa_out -j secondInterface -d hw:3 -c 6

I have also tried the shebang #!/bin/sh  with the same result. alsa_out is in /usr/bin . I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.

Thanks for any advice here.

Jim
