Could not import the PyAudio C module '_portaudio'. (Mac M1), about Symbol not found: _PaMacCore_SetupChannelMap

Question

I'm trying to import pyaudio on my Macbook with M1 chip. I have python version 3.9.6 and anaconda (python 3.8), and now using version on terminal is 3.9.6.

Before I get this error, I fixed 'brew install portaudio' & 'pip install pyaudio' problem. Portaudio & Pyaudio installed fine! But when I try to import pyaudio,

Could not import the PyAudio C module '_portaudio'.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import make_pyaudio

I tried uninstall portaudio&pyaudio and reinstall many times, but still I could not fix this problem.

Does anyone who get this problem and fix it?
