I'm not sure what you mean by cable. However, the script otherwise looks good. I'd suggest removing the Set_SoundDriver "alsa", though, unless it's necessary. I'm pretty sure Wine would fall back to it if PulseAudio wasn't available, and (I think) most distributions have PulseAudio these days anyway.

Rocksmith requires a cable which is used to connect your guitar to your PC (via USB). You need the "alsa" sound because the cable is not working properly.

Check it out on WineHQ: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=29333

Okay, that's fine, as long as there's a reason for it. (Though doesn't PulseAudio route ALSA output through PulseAudio anyway? Or is this just for audio input?) Anyway, as long as it works, I'd go ahead and contribute it.

The script worked flawless for me (Ubuntu 16.04, x64) as i changed the Rocksmith.ini file. I had to set both "ExclusiveMode" and "Win32UltraLowLatencyMode" to "0". Otherwise the Cable would not be detected.

For PulseAudio you just have to turn the Rocksmith Guitar Adapter off, no need for Jack.

I would suggest to slightly update your script plata, but awesome work anyway, thx a lot!!

This is my complete Rocksmith.ini file:

[Audio]
EnableMicrophone=0
ExclusiveMode=0
LatencyBuffer=4
ForceDefaultPlaybackDevice=
ForceWDM=0
ForceDirectXSink=0
Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=0
DumpAudioLog=0

EDIT: If anyone has a problem with the steamwebhelper.exe muting your application, i would recommend not to start Rocksmith via the shortcut. Instead just open PlayOnLinux, select the "Rocksmith 2014 (Steam)" virtual drive, open up the configuration. Switch to the "Wine" tab. Start the wine configuration and check "Emulate virtual desktop" under the "Graphics" tab. Go back and start Wine via "Command prompt". After that minimize the command prompt window and start Steam via the shortcut from the desktop. Wait for the steamwebhelper.exe error to occur, ignore it and let the window open. Finally start Rocksmith.

Quote from hunterzocker

I updated the script. It seems like the Rocksmith.ini is created only after you start for the first time, therefore it was not changed automatically. This should be fixed now.

Would be great if you could try this out hunterzocker.

I tried and tested the script, everything is now working fine! Even the steamwebhelper.exe error is gone!

Thank you very much plata!!

Just wanted to say thank you. I have not tested this out completely but so far so good. I am so happy that I can finally run RockSmith on my Linux computer. I am very new to the Linux world and it took me a couple of days to figure out what this script was for even but, I think I got it now. Thanks!

I have this running great on Linux Mint 18.

On Linux Mint 19 this is a disaster. Fails to install and with text in the boxes missing.

So this is a warning to others and also a cry for help.

@RattyDAVE: I didn't test this recently. I would like to encourage you to try the version for Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5 (the designated successor of PoL4): https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis. Let me know if it works out.
