You have a plumbing problem.

At this point, the sampling rate is 8 MHz.

If the interpolation was 1 and decimation 4 then the sampling rate would
be 500 kHz.

No indication of any decimation in the low pass filter - assuming a
decimation of 1 - or none.

Assuming a decimation of 1 in your low pass filter, the audio sampling
rate would now be 83 MHz.

Again, you need to reverse things - decimate at 500 kHz and interpolate
at 48 kHz.

I'd recommend deleting the first rational sample and decimating by 4 in
the low pass filter.

In short, interpolation up samples and decimation down samples.
