Hydrophones not working?

My hydrophones don't seem to work I go to periscope depth, and do a scan and nothing, even though I can look at the ship through my periscope. When I first noticed this I was just using TMO so I thought that I may have just messed up the install somehow and deleted some sound files, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, this time using the Real Fleet Boat 2.0 mod but alas I have the same problem, has anyone else experienced this or is there something fundamental I don't know about hydrophones. I have also tried it when I am almost a stones throw away from the target and still nothing.
Thanks for any help.

edit: ps. I am also using the U-Boat addon

Are you using any MODS such as sound?
I don't know if you're still having the hydrophone problem but it sounds just like the problem I had. At the time I was experimenting with sound MODS for SH4 1.4 stock. . I could not hear (at first) ANY ships on the Hydrophone but my sonarmen picked them up, so no problem there. Then I started experimenting with the MOD installs and at one point, I could hear MY ship (180) but no others. Finally I was able to come up with the MOD setup in the order that allowed the Hydrophone to work. I also found that a couple of Websters sound mods didn't like to be installed in the wrong order. If you disable your mods, and then load them back one by one while testing your hydrophone it should come back and you'll find the culprit MOD.
