Hello Fabrizio, Have you tried running the benchmark_rate example included with UHD? That can test if there is any issue sending data at that rate to the USRP. uhd_siggen is also a good test as it uses GNU Radio so can check that the rate continues to work from within GNU Radio.
If both of those work then more information would be needed about your GNU Radio flowgraph. Is it only a file source into a USRP sink?
