The surface acoustic wave (SAWs) attenuation coefficient $\Gamma$ and the velocity change $\Delta V /V$ were measured for $p$-type Si/SiGe heterostructures in the temperature range 0.7 - 1.6 K as a function of external magnetic field $H$ up to 7 T and in the frequency range 30-300 MHz in the hole Si/SiGe heterostructures. Oscillations of $\Gamma$ (H) and $\Delta V /V$ (H) in a magnetic field were observed. Both real $\sigma_1$ (H) and imaginary $\sigma_2$ (H) components of the high-frequency conductivity have been determined. Analysis of the $\sigma_1$ to $\sigma_2$ ratio allows the carrier localization to be followed as a function of temperature and magnetic field. At T=0.7 K the variation of $\Gamma$, $\Delta V /V$ and $\sigma_1$ with SAW intensity have been studied and could be attributed to 2DHG heating by the SAW electric field. The energy relaxation time is found to be dominated by scattering at the deformation potential of the acoustic phonons with weak screening.
