However yes, the sound of Il-2 was designed for hiend sound cards and good speakers with subwoofer.
Now it is designed for both - entry level and high. Should works everywhere the same. Now it is independed of sound drivers of different producers that had different panning and other features and quality. For Il-2 the lowest was Creative SB Live - only on such cards you may hear the supercharger separately of other sounds.
modders simply killed it...

This is why I have never had a problem with the sound in IL-2. I have always been running it with an Audigy 2 sound card and a very nice 5.1 surround sound system. I can hear all kinds of little subtle sounds and effects in the different engines, including the turbochargers and little pings and knocks from the engines.
I tried out the sound mods but didn't like them. They sound more like being at an airshow than being inside the cockpit, so I went back to stock IL-2 4.09. I have over 8000 hours in Real Life flying as I am a commuter pilot on a DeHavilland Dash 8. I am quite used to what a prop driven aircraft sounds like from the inside, and IL-2 with higher end equipment is VERY good. I can't wait to hear the sounds of BoB!
