I have PyAudio installed on my windows for sure, but when I try to install into Pycharm I get this message?

Question

THIS IS NOT CODE - ( I have read everything on google, I have the latest version of pip, python, pycharm, I have Installed Microsoft visual studios C++, pip install pipwin then pipwin install pyaudio - all of these installed well with no errors - it's just my Pycharm that doesn't accept the package for some reason. any ideas?

This is the error message in the Pycharm 'Available Packages'

Like I've mentioned above, I have already tried this and have MV C++ 14.0 already. Still doesn't work — 0myjoe, Jan 20 '21 at 11:06

PyAudio doesn't have wheels (prebuilt packages) for Python 3.7+ on Windows, PyAudio is supported by Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6

If you have anaconda you can run conda install pyaudio instead and that should work.

You ran `conda install pyaudio` and that did not work? I tested this out with the `pip` command, I received the same error, everything is resolved with `conda install pyaudio`.. – Adam Jan 21 '21 at 08:59
The error is clearly stated in the log, you're running Python 3.9, there aren't any prebuilt packages for Python 3.7+ for Windows, `ctrl + alt + s` and adjust your Python interpreter to either a version that is below 3.9 or point to your Anaconda library. – Adam Jan 21 '21 at 09:12

I have PyAudio installed on my windows for sure, but when I try to install into Pycharm I get this message?
