I guess you have taken care of sign bit(bit index 28) and checked against overflow of your used bits e.g by clipping.

Your left/rt muxing shouldn't be a problem if you have one channel correctly muxed and sampled, muxing must be correct and don't try patching up with Re/Im trick.

Rd/Wr of data is better frozen under your control so that the monitor displays same block, better only you update it manually, this way you get same lines
