This has stumped me for a long time as well. But here's what I've noticed. The FIRST time I try to raise the volume by clicking on the ambient knob, it only works IF there is a ship that's been detected and you can hear it in the hydrophone. After that, if I don't click it off, the heightened volume usually stays on.

But I can mouse it all day that first time with no change in the volume if there is no ship there.

Don't ask me why, and as always, it may be unique to me and my mods.
