Hello,  
I followed this tutorial to build a simple FM receiver:  
[How To Build an FM Receiver with the USRP in Less Than 10 Minutes - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWeY2yqwVA0.I) am using the USRP e110,my  
problem is I am only getting noise.I tried to change blocks and  
parameters  
and it worked for me when I deleted the rational resampler and made a  
100k  
as a sample\_rate parameter.I get to hear FM radio stations but the  
quality  
of the sound is very bad it’s like on the SAW movie.Any one has a  
solution  
on how to improve the sound quality!!!thx

Abouda,

If you attach your GRC file to your reply I’ll take a look at it for  
you.  
It sounds like a sample rate mis-match going on somewhere.
