I have been trying to get PyAudio to install in my virtual environment but have failed to get it to load.
When I try to install it through Pip (linux mint) I get the following:

I searched Stack Overflow and came upon a handful of similar questions but none of them seemed to work. For example, I found the following solution here.
pip install -e git+http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git#egg=pyaudio
It produces the following failure in terminal:

The following installs correctly:
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio
When I attempt to import it into the file (whetehr in VSCode or PyCharm) it fails to load.
import pyaudio
I get the same with import Pyaudio and import pyaudio
Am I installing this completely wrong and, if so, how can I go about accomplishing it correctly? Additionally, since the last method installed correctly in my virtualenv, am I importing it incorrectly into my code?
Thank you all for your time and if there is anything I can add for clarity, please don't hesitate to ask.
