Removing read-more from excerpt (responsive theme)

    Hi,
    I’ve been looking around the forums both here and at cyberchimps, but am struggling to edit/remove the read-more link to specific posts produced by category blogroll templates. I’m using the free responsive theme, but trying to intervene via a child theme.

    I’ve identified the call to get the except which is simply;
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    in my child version of a category template copied from the original template.

    I’ve identified in the responsive themes own functions where the read-more button is created:

    [ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. Or better still – use the pastebin ]

    function responsive_read_more() {
	return '<div class="read-more"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read more ›', 'responsive' ) . '</a></div><!-- end of .read-more -->';
}

/**
 * Replaces "[...]" (appended to automatically generated excerpts) with an ellipsis and responsive_read_more_link().
 */
function responsive_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
	return '<span class="ellipsis">…</span>' . responsive_read_more();
}

add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'responsive_auto_excerpt_more' );

What I am trying to change via my child functions is the below. Basically I'd like it to check if this is happening in a specific category and not show a read-more button.

function responsive_child_read_more() {
	if ( in_category('sound-news') ) {
        // do not show a read more button!!!
	} else {
	return '<div class="read-more"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Read more ›', 'responsive' ) . '</a></div><!-- end of .read-more -->';
}
}

What is the best way to do this?
So far I've only had limited success using:

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'child_read_more_filter');
function child_read_more_filter() {
       add_filter('the_excerpt','responsive_child_read_more');
}

    …BUT – This removes the excerpt entirely, while

    add_filter('excerpt_more'...

    achieves nothing.

    Any help – greatly appreciated.

    Responsive theme adds read more links through excerpt filter.
    Add code below in your theme’s functions.php file.

    /******************************************************************************
 * Remove Read More links
 */
add_action('after_setup_theme', function(){
    remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'responsive_auto_excerpt_more' );
    remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'responsive_custom_excerpt_more' );
});

add_filter( 'excerpt_more', function ( $more ) {
	return '<span class="ellipsis">&hellip;</span>';
});

    Hope it helps.
