How to install pyaudio?

Question

My python version version is 3.9.0

I tried to install pyaudio but I get an error message.

I went to try a few different versions from an unofficial website, but none of them worked.

Every time I get an error msg that says:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyAudio-0.2.11-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64 (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for PyAudio-0.2.11-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64

this is there not any pyaudio version for python 3.9.0

Answer 1

The message is pretty clear. PyPI does not yet have a Python 3.9 version of pyaudio . Christoph Gohlke's site https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs does. I downloaded it from there and it works. If it didn't work for you then you should show the pip command you issued and not just the error message you got. I used the command line

pip install D:\Users\BoarGules\Downloads\PyAudio-0.2.11-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

Maybe you were expecting pip to know where the downloaded wheel was, without being told where to look?

And if you want to install pyaudio for Python 3.9 then it won't help to use a wheel named PyAudio-0.2.11-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl : the Python version is embedded in the filename and it says 3.6 not 3.9, so try again with the right file.

Answer 2

try this

pip install pipwin

then

pipwin install pyaudio
