Don't turn towards where he is, but where he will be in the future.

Should be a button on the orders bar or a hotkey somewhere (check the F1 help menu) . Generally, you can hear much farther with the hydrophone then your soundman can (don't ask me, ask ubi ). Use your Home/END keys to rotate your sound gear, the mouse wheel button will allow you to rotate it in smaller increments for "fine tuning" so to speak.
