Installs can get borked, so I can't really say much about that.

Sensor values certainly can be changed; it's just that no one was able to sync them to what we hear. It is like what Cap'nScurvy noticed about how sometimes we cannot hear slow-moving ships, though our crews can. It is just another example of poor game design that we have to live with.

The same thing can occur with visuals. Depending on the sensor values in force, we might be able to see ships before our crew spots them, or vice-versa. Ideally, we would see as well as our crew; no better, and no worse.
