Audio Edit- Viewer Playhead controls Timeline Playhead

I'm doing a transcript of my movie, and have a pretty basic question when editing audio. I have an audio clip in the timeline and I want to know the timecode of the exact frame when I begin speaking. If I double the audio clip in the timeline, it opens the clip in the Viewer where I can see a large waveform and find the exact frame easily. Now the problem is the timecode is according to that particular clip and there's no reference for the timeline. Is there a command for the timeline playhead to match the playhead position in the viewer? I know if I do vice-versa, where if I move the timeline playhead and double click the clip, the playhead position in the viewer will change. Any info would be much appreciated!

Regards,
Alexander
 
At the bottom of the timeline window on the left is a
small triangle click on and you get the set up menu.
click show audio waveform. It might take awhile
if you have a long timeline.
 
Thank you that helps! I also found the exact solution I'm looking for:

In either the Viewer or the Canvas, directly above the image are three pop-up menus.
Choose the middle one, Playhead Sync, and set it to Open.

Thank you guys!
