<p>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.<br>

<p>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.</p>
<p>The man page doesn't say, so try making it a shell function,</p>
<pre>alsa_me() {</pre>
<pre> alsa_out -j secondInterface -d hw:3 -c 6
</pre>
<pre>}</pre>
<p>and then call that from the command-line<font size="2">.<br>

The thing is I want to avoid using the command line. I want a user
to just double click the file to run it.<br>

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? <br>
