Can you ... var_dump(exec($mixer . ' ' . $command)); I wonder if the output includes a new line which you are not accounting for in the regex. Haven't tried yet, but isn't that what $ is for? End of line?

And exec only gives one line- the last line of the output of the command. You have to provide a reference to an array for the entire output. var_dump gives: string(41) "Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75" Any thoughts?
