I installed it from another way, but I do not think it's installed properly

Answer 1

it seems like your package is not installed properly so, first of all, undo all the setup you do try to uninstall and reinstall using pip

python -m pip install pyaudio

or you can try using wheel (click here to get wheel file)

pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

if it is not working then try to install using anaconda

conda install -c anaconda pyaudio 

Answer 2

I was with the same problem, I discovery that PyAudio does not support versions larger than 3.6. You can see the supported versions at this link: PyAudio To solve this problem, I start using python 3.6.8 .

Available to Download from the official Python website.

I hope this helps.
