Answer 1

I think you should install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 in this site https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

 C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-vo4omqnb\pyaudio\
 Complete output (9 lines): running bdist_wheel running build running

 '_portaudio' extension error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required.
 Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools":

these error messages indicate you to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0

Answer 2

Once try these commands in your prompt

pip install pipwin

pipwin install pyaudio

pipwin automatically installs required wheel for it.
