Unable to get sys-audio qube to auto start on boot

Ok, I’ve found the issue.
Previously the qvm-usb list vmname didn’t show the persistently attached devices that are not present, but now it shows them even if there is no device present.
Attach both USB devices to sys-audio, change the script to this and try again:

#!/bin/bash
guest_name="$1"
libvirt_operation="$2"
timeout=60
guest_to_start_on_usb="sys-audio"

if [ "$guest_name" = "sys-usb" ] && [ "$libvirt_operation" = "started" ]; then
    (
        exec 0</dev/null
        exec 1>/dev/null
        exec 2>/dev/null
        guest_attached_usb_list=$(qvm-usb list "$guest_to_start_on_usb" | awk '{ print $1 }')
        for i in $(seq 1 $timeout);
        do
            if qvm-ls --running $guest_name | grep -q Running; then
                present_usb_list=$(qvm-usb list | grep -w "$guest_to_start_on_usb" | awk '{ print $1 }')
                if  [ "$guest_attached_usb_list" = "$present_usb_list" ]; then
                    qvm-start --skip-if-running -q $guest_to_start_on_usb
                    break
                fi
            fi
            sleep 1
        done
    ) & disown
fi

UPD:
I’ve updated the script, since it was error-prone and with updated script you don’t need to specify the attached USB devices.
