I have tried multiple variations to this script but I cannot get it to work. The UDEV Rule fires the script and the script exectutes but simply does not change the audio profile.

If I run the script manually in terminal, it works but not when the UDEV Rule fires it... please help, thank you.

Tl; Dr

Udev fires script but does not switch audio profile and no notification is shown.
Manually running in terminal leads to the audio profile being switched with the notification correctly shown.

UPDATE: When adding a check on if the command worked, it reports that it failed. Here is a link to my whole script.

maybe your HDMI-audio modules are not loaded? – LittleByBlue Sep 22 '14 at 15:42
take a look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss.conf. and see lsmod|less – LittleByBlue Sep 22 '14 at 15:46
@LittleByBlue I am pretty much a noob at this, what am I looking for? – arayray Sep 22 '14 at 15:53
It seems as though I had the sound cards, here is a pastebin of the output – arayray Sep 22 '14 at 16:08
look at sudo lshw|less search for the HDMI interface and take a look at the driver. in your blacklist you'll search for something like i123_HDMI.and GIYF! – LittleByBlue Sep 22 '14 at 17:16
@LittleByBlue nothing related to HDMI in the blacklist – arayray Sep 22 '14 at 17:40

BUMP @LittleByBlue any ideas? – arayray Sep 30 '14 at 21:54
I actually don't know what to do now. You could try to install additional drivers. – LittleByBlue Oct 02 '14 at 15:35
