Well, I can't help you much with the first issue; someone with a much better idea of how to fix the problem will probably come along in a little while. What I have noticed is that the screen resolution selected (in the game and on your video card controller) greatly affects the size of a lot of things, including the tools on the chart table. For me, the best resolution setting in the game options for TMO has been 1280 X 960 or 1280 X 800. I've tried 1920 X 1200 and up, but those higher settings resulted in completely unusable gauges, text items and chart tools.
As for the second item...you can hear the sounds because they are there and you have ears; your sonarman is an AI function and doesn't have ears, he hears what the game's parameters tell him he can hear. I suspect that you could alter that in the equipment file for the WCA or in the Data/Cfg/sensors.cfg file, but since I haven't tried that myself, I can't recommend any tweaks that might work. Hopefully, someone who has a better handle on that will also come along and give you some good advice.
