exec script only executing first part

I am trying to bind a key to exec a shell script. The problem is that it only executes part of the script, the first statement.

I can execute the script from a term and it works as intended.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks.

i3config keybinding

bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec  $HOME/scripts/amixer/vol_down

vol_down

#!/bin/bash
amixer -q set Master 5- unmute 
./update_conky_vol

update conky vol

#!/bin/bash
./.amixer 'Master' 'Left' > ~/.config/conky/volume

.amixer

#!/bin/bash

param=$(amixer get "$1",0 | grep "$2:" | egrep -m 1 -o '[0-9]{1,3}%' | egrep -m 1 -o '[0-9]{1,3}%') 
echo ${param%[%]}%
