Hey @benrolfe ,
Shouldn't Alexa handle the volume for me? Or is there a way to control volume using the SDK?
You are right. Alexa should be handling the volume for you. However, if you are in a skill session, any utterance will try to match to your skill because Alexa doesn't know if the user is talking to the skill or to the service itself. I am guessing your skill session was still open when you were trying the 'volume' options. As for the volume control through SDK, there is no control directives that audioplayer provides that can be utilized by skill developers.
You can check for related questions on the forums to see if anyone got a workaround, or ask on the forum itself to get help from the audioplayer service team.
Since this is not an SDK issue, I am closing this one. Please update the issue with the forum post if you get a solution. Thanks.

I've built a Skill that successfully plays a long audio file (~ 30 minutes). When the user (while the audio is playing) says "Alexa, volume up", it gets passed to my "AMAZON.FallbackIntent" handler.
