I am pretty sure that you cannot stop ambient, it is something that loops in the background non-stop.

but why exists then such a function?

I couldn't get it to work either, so either were doing it wrong or it could be an SP function only.
As a simple workaround you could create another alias in your csv with a vol_min of 0, and use ambientplay on that to stop it.

maybe you need to incorporate the ambient music as a script that has a starting state of on which turns off when the trigger is activated. Similar to on-off death triggers or situational triggers.

soviet, even if it was in a script it would keep on playing until it ended. Your best shot would be with what luke said, try the vol_min 0
