Problem to import PyAudio C module from pyaudio._portaudio

Effie

Hello,

I am developing an experiment where I want to record participants vocal responses. I am using the following code (see attached) but it comes back with an error, namely "could not import PyAudio C module from pyaudio_portaudio". Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Operating system: win32

Opensesame: 3.3.11

python: 3.7.6

code

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import pyaudio

import wave

import os

chunk = 1024 # Record in chunks of 1024 samples

sample_format = pyaudio.paInt16 # 16 bits per sample

channels = 1

fs = 44100 # Record at 44100 samples per second

seconds = 3

output_folder = 'C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\test_file'

filename = os.path.join(output_folder, f"{trial}.wav")

p = pyaudio.PyAudio() # Create an interface to PortAudio

# Open the mic

stream = p.open(format=sample_format,

channels=channels,

rate=fs,

frames_per_buffer=chunk,

input=True,

output=True)

frames = [] # Initialize array to store frames

# Store data in chunks for 3 seconds

for i in range(0, int(fs / chunk * seconds)):

data = stream.read(chunk)

frames.append(data)

# Stop and close the stream

stream.stop_stream()

stream.close()

# Terminate the PortAudio interface

p.terminate()

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Hi Effie,

Is this maybe something you could try:

Hi Eduard,

Thank you for your reply, after looking into different threads on this matter, I installed OpenseSame v4.0 and finally worked!

Thank you again for your time.
