The issue is, that the volume of the “play sound” is only set at the moment when the node executes. Updating the value after the node runs does not effect it. I think you should use an “AudioComponent” or an [Ambient] Sound Actor. You should be able to change the volume on it.

See here: [Ambient Sound Actor User Guide

BTW if this is a level blueprint and this sound actor is static (it is always in the level), better create an reference to it instead of setting the volume on the first actor you find (because it will maybe break when you add a second actor). you can do so by selecting the actor and then “open level blueprint” and after rightclicking do “create reference to …”
