You should install C++ redistributables, it is emphasized in the traceback output:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

I believe this is a shortcut link to the installation package: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

pip install pipwin

pipwin install pyaudio

Try these commands in prompt this will definitely work. It does not require any manual downloads or searches etc. It will automatically search for the compatible wheel for your python version and will install it. pipwin is a complementary tool for pip on Windows. pipwin installs unofficial python package binaries for windows provided by Christoph Gohlke

You need to install visual studio from this link Visual Studio

OR

You can download PyAudio package from this link Window Binary for python . In this website go to the PyAudio package and then download it, Now go to the location where this file is downloaded on your laptop with window PowerShell, AND then run pip install <filename>.

It will solve your problem.

You don't need to download or any Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools. Just do the following, it will fix everything. I had the exact same error. After you go to this link: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ select and download the PyAudio for your Python version.

I downloaded:

PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Place the downloaded file into the Scrips folder. My folder structure is:

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\Scripts`

Then you need to install the downloaded script by using the command:

python -m pip install "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\Scripts\PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl"

For those users who are using Python 3.9 should carry out this procedure, it might help you as it worked fine for me.

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
