Well it indeed appears to be my graph. Tried using a simple graph. Signal Source (32k) \> Complex - Float \> WAV Dream decoded it, SDR# read it, and it was fine. My graph of interest must have a sample-rate no lower than 360k. It appears to be recording something, but its almost as if it is recording the samples too quickly? Here is a screenshot of the graph if it helps any.

What you do is you split the complex signal and pass the I part to one channel and Q to the other (I think the convention was I → R, but I might be mistaken. IIRC, DREAM lets you configure this anyhow). So you get a “stereo” WAV file. MB
