<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>

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>
