OK got your file, and it is working fine here on a N210+WBX, and a B200, when
fed with a signal generator.
1) You must be using GR 3.6 or earlier as some blocks don't import into
3.7.5. I replaced the rational resampler and nbfm_rx with your same
settings.
2) I assume you are using an USRP2 or N2x0 since you are using an IP
address. The gain should be 31 maximum for the WBX. I measure the minimum
detectable signal at this gain is about -90 dBm, for 1 kHz tone on NBFM with
5 KHz deviation.
3) I also added a resampler to 48k, 10x gain, and an audio sink. I did
verify the wav file is being written.
Are you sure you are on frequency and signal is strong enough? Any tune
warning from UHD? Can you tune a strong signal like 162.55 MHz NOAA, or
equivalent in your area? At least you are getting noise.
