Hello, I am trying to remove some VPK packed sound with this and i did with

PHP Code:

public OnMapStart()
{
    RemoveSoundFromStringTable("some/sound/in/vpk01.wav");
    RemoveSoundFromStringTable("some/sound/in/vpk02.wav");
    RemoveSoundFromStringTable("some/sound/in/vpk03.wav");
}

stock RemoveSoundFromStringTable(const String:szFileName[]) {
    static hTable = INVALID_STRING_TABLE;
    
    if (hTable == INVALID_STRING_TABLE) {
        hTable = FindStringTable("soundprecache");
    }
    
    new iIndex = FindStringIndex2(hTable, szFileName);
    if (iIndex != INVALID_STRING_INDEX) {
        new bool:bOldState = LockStringTables(false);
        SetStringTableData(hTable, iIndex, "\0", 1);
        LockStringTables(bOldState);
    }
}

stock FindStringIndex2(iTable, const String:szFileName[], iStart=0) {
    new iMax = GetStringTableNumStrings(iTable);
    
    decl String:szBuffer[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    for (new i = iStart; i < iMax; i++) {
        GetStringTableData(iTable, i, szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer));
        if (strcmp(szFileName, szBuffer, false) == 0) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    
    return INVALID_STRING_INDEX;
} 


and sound is still playing, How can fix this ?

P.S. That sound is client-sided sounds and should be deleted for my custom mod, I tried AddNormalSoundHook() and not worked :/

I don't think you can do that with sounds.
