Run Python Script that uses pyaudio from a crontab job

Question

I am trying to run a python script from a cronjob. When I execute my script I get errors like this:

    ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:601:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave

My cronjob looks like this:

0 8-12 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/script.py >> /opt/log.txt 2>&1

My script executes without any problems when I run it normally in VSCode or just the CLI command:

python3 script.py

I am trying to run my script on a schedule and its not liking pulseaudio.

Any ideas or suggestions would be a huge help!
