Ive figured out how to get triggercmd working but the parameters are being sent as words which is not usable for what I'm trying to do

@fennectech, we're at the mercy of what Alexa hears and sends to the TRIGGERcmd servers. You could use a script that does word-to-number conversion for you, something this:

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
    "one" )
        NUMBER=1 ;;
    "two" )
        NUMBER=2 ;;
    "three" )
        NUMBER=3 ;;
    "four" 
        NUMBER=4 ;;
    "five" )
        NUMBER=5 ;;
    "six" )
        NUMBER=6 ;;
    "seven" )
        NUMBER=7 ;;
    "eight" )
        NUMBER=8 ;;
    "nine" )
        NUMBER=9 ;;
    "ten" )
        NUMBER=10 ;;
esac

xboxvol $NUMBER
