I was getting background static/loss of quality in many of the engine sounds, and serious popping and crackling in others. In addition, levels were weird with guns sounding quiet in comparison to engines. I opened up the sound settings from within Il-2 and turned down master volume and objects volume to somewhat less than half and turned up voices volume to max (I always have music off). I have to have my speakers at a higher volume level than normal, but all the distortion is gone and engine volume sounds more normal. 50 cals still sound weird to me, but that may be a specific bug as mentioned. I'm not enamored with all the sounds, but they certainly don't sound bad.
