No matter what I set my X-Fi and my Medusa to, the fact that frequency-band starts at 50Hz simply stops any fun for me. Using that headset, I can understand why people complain about the sound in IL2

My stereo-headset starts at 8Hz and has pretty much beat at that low frequency. Awesome, especially when flying a P47 and firing all guns.

below 50hz odds are you are going to feel air pressure (ie: when the wind hits on your ears) rather than "sound"...

In any case most complaints about IL2 sounds are from people that use bad quality speakers, not soundcards.
