[Python] "BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe" when sending a python scripts output to a...

Been pulling my brains out for a few hours now, I cannot seem to get this working, I have been to the 3rd page of google results but I cannot seem to get this right.

code:

#!/bin/bash

python3.12 -m speech_recognition | while IFS= read -r x; do
case $x in
*"Got it"*)
echo "Action for text1"
ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -f lavfi -i 'sine=f=1200:d=0.05' && ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -f lavfi -i 'sine=f=1500:d=0.05' &
;;
*"You said"*)
echo "Action for text2"
espeak-ng "$x"
;;
*"test"*)
echo "Action for text3"
ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -f lavfi -i 'sine=f=1200:d=0.05' && ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -f lavfi -i 'sine=f=1200:d=0.05' &
;;
*)
echo "No match for $x"
# Optional default action for unmatched text
;;
esac
echo $x
done


terminal output:
