Why I cannot hear clear sound from simple GNURadio block

I made simple FM Radio in GNU Radio but I cannot hear clear sound. It just makes very noisy, chopped sound. Even dial-tone example makes same problem.

Is there anyone who met same problem??

My environment:

Dial-tone example(same with original one in official website..)

This example works very well on my machines.

The noisy common reason for problems like these is the fact that virtualized sound cards don't work quite like their real counterparts, especially when the virtualizer tries to resample

I'd bet your problems go away as soon as you run your GNU Radio natively, instead of in a VM.
