Ahoy Vern,
Exactly what mods are you using? I've had a couple of seemingly innocent mods knock out my hydrophones completely. Although one was a sound mod it still made no sense. Also, having your periscope up might effect the hydrophones depending on certain conditions (like what mods are up). Having visual contact with a ship in any form (periscope, crew-watch) might take down the hydro-phones. I may be mistaken about this but I remember reading a post and one of the modders was explaining that the game will use these resources in some kind of order, so if your radar tracks an aircraft, once the crew spots the plane, the contact on the map is actually the visual contact. There is a also a mod out there that fixes a problem with certain ships not being picked up by the hydrophones, I'll see if I can locate it.
Good Luck

Ps; When you say a target appears 'unknown' and your crew says "no sound contacts". I have this happen all the time, I won't get a "hit" until I head in the direction of the contact for a time. Finally, the SO will call it out. However, it's still always a pretty good distance away.
