[TF2] Help: how do I dynamically change a sound's volume?

Hello, folks. I want to change a sound's volume on the fly, while it's already playing, but I can't seem to figure out how. Does anyone have any pointers?

I'm not aware of any way for a server plugin to alter the volume of a sound while it is playing.

In fact, the only reliable way I found to increase a sounds volume was to simultaneously play it more than once. I learned that I can stop a sound but only if my plugin was the one that created it. I also learned how to prevent and/or replace sounds fairly reliably.

I wish I had better news for you.

Aye, thank you for your reply. It's sad that something like this seems impossible, but I guess that's just the cold reality of things sometimes.
