alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #149 was opened from juggledad:
amixer version 1.2.4 Raspberry Pi Zero W v1.1 Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) - desktop version Node-RED v2.2.2
This was discovered using an `exec` node in on a The exec node runs a command and returns its output. When running a test, I wanted to get the amixer version. There are two ways to ask `amixer` for it's version number 1 - use 'amixer -v' 2 - use 'amixer --version` Both returned the version number but had a Return Code of 1. All other 'amixer' commands (like 'amixer -h` or `amixer --help') return with a '0'.
Here is a copy of the node-red flow that was used:
