Answer 1

You can try:

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

If this doesn't work, you can manually add and install pyaudio.

First, go to: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and check the pyaudio supporting to your Python version.

For example: if you have Python 3.8.2, then PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl

After downloading, copy that file and paste it in C://Users/[user]/

Then open cmd and write:

pip install [full filename]

If this doesn't work, change the file directory to C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts Then restart cmd and run again pip install [full filename].
