Im not aware of any mod or patch that addresses this, however if you save and exit the game (surfaced of course) i seem to recall this corrects the issue when you re-load

However, there have been several times where I have made my approach, not heard any pings, only to find the convoy alerted and buzzing with activity even before I raise my scope. How on earth do they detect me? I'm not going very fast under water, and besides hydrophone ability should be reduced with them constantly moving around at 7-10 knots up there.
thanks

irregardless of the mod used, convoy escorts are either listening passively, or listening actively
in passive listening, the destroyer creeps at slow speed listening for the sound of your propeller beats on his hydrophone. You should not get close to or attempt to go under the convoy escorts as even at ahead slow with silent running set, at short enough range the escorts WILL hear you, depending on the year and skill level i wouldnt get within 1,000 meters of an escort if possible.
another technique is to click the small button by your speed telegraph which switches it to the speed dial, there you can order a speed of 1 knot, this reduces RPM to 50 and makes the sub much quieter. however, if you are close enough to the escort, he will probably hear you with hydrophones.
