Thank you. These are simpler than what I have. Both solutions worked. The only caveat is that the first solution can case the program to terminate if a user input happens to include any non-numeric character. If you can control that then it's fine.
The second solution covers all basis as far as my testing went.

Hi
Using the below logic to check whether the value is integer or not and converting the value to decimal if not.
int_chck = sprintf(substr($i, 1, 2))
o_cnt = 'if ; then echo $int_chck; else echo $((0x$int_chck)); fi'

gbsplayrc
gbsplayrc(5) Gameboy sound player gbsplayrc(5)
NAME
gbsplayrc - Gameboy sound player configuration file
DESCRIPTION
/etc/gbsplayrc and ~/.gbsplayrc are used by gbsplay(1).
SYNTAX
Comments are introduced by hash marks. A comment continues to the end of the line. Whitespace, including empty lines, is ignored. Option
values follow the option name and an equal sign. Valid option value types are:
Boolean
An integer number in decimal. 0 is considered false, everything else is true.
Endian A single character denoting the endianness. n == native endian, l == little endian and b == big endian.
Integer
An integer number in decimal.
Plugin The name of an output plugin. Run gbsplay -o list to get a list of all available output plugins.
OPTIONS
endian = Endian
The output endianness.
fadeout = Integer
The fadeout time in seconds. Instead of cutting of the subsong hard, do a soft fadeout.
loop = Boolean
In loop mode the playback will restart from the beginning after the last subsong.
output_plugin = Plugin
The sound output plugin to be used.
rate = Integer
The samplerate to be used.
refresh_delay = Integer
Set the refresh delay in milliseconds. Larger values will lower CPU usage, but things as subsong changes, fadeouts, reactions to
keypresses and the on-screen display will be delayed.
silence_timeout = Integer
The silence timeout in seconds. When a subsong contains silence for the given time, the player will skip to the next subsong.
subsong_gap = Integer
The subsong gap in seconds. Before playing the next subsong after the subsong timeout, play subsong_gap seconds of silence.
subsong_timeout = Integer
The subsong timeout in seconds. When a subsong has been played for the given time, the player will skip to the next subsong. A
timeout of 0 seconds disables automatic subsong changes.
verbosity = Integer
Sets the verbosity level (default: 3). A value of 0 means no messages on stdout.
FILES
/etc/gbsplayrc
Default location of the global configuration file.
~/.gbsplayrc
User configuration file.
