How to install pyaudio

[vedeja]

Can someone please bother to describe how pyaudio is installed on the Pi?

[ZacharyI123]

sudo apt-get install git
git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git

[vedeja]

For the record, here's what I did:

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
$ sudo apt-get install libportaudio0 libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev
$ sudo apt-get python-dev
$ sudo python pyaudio/setup.py install

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
$ sudo apt-get install libportaudio0 libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev
$ sudo apt-get python-dev
$ sudo python pyaudio/setup.py install

Many thanks. I wanted this on my laptop as well and had to make a few changes.
In root:
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ sudo git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
$ sudo apt-get install libportaudio0 libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
$ cd pyaudio
$ sudo python setup.py install

I have been hacking around and stress that I am no expert being new to Linux and Pi. I found this...

sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

It seems to install everything required

Thanks...

sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

works like a charm

This only appears to setup pyaudio for python2.x. I've tried a few things to get it to work with python3 on my brand new pi and wolfson. Any ideas what I might be missing? I tried: "sudo python3 setup.py install" but still cannot "import pyaudio" in the python3 interpreter. I'm using python 3.2.3. thanks!

For python 3

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-dev

needs to be changed to

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 32&t=54658 suggests that it can work with python 3

I've tried these methods, and PyAudio seems to install fine, but then when I try to run the example on the PyAudio documentation site (on my Pi 2), I get slow/choppy/garbled audio which eventually stops. Playing audio with aplay from the command line works just fine, so it must be something with PyAudio.

Does anyone have any help they can offer? I've scoured the web, but can't find any solutions.

Thanks in advance.

I'm exactly with the same problem, smrtsmrf.

I am using the B+, Python 2.7.3, PyAudio (0.2.8 and 0.2.4) and I also get slow/choppy/garbled audio...
When I play the sound with pygame it works pretty good though. So it should be something with PyAudio...

Did you find what was causing that?

To install pyAudio for Python 3 try:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python3-pyaudio 

Just hacking around with it now...

The following code allows me to record from my USB microphone. It does output a lot of errors first, but it works!

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pyaudio
import wave

CHUNK = 512
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16 #paInt8
CHANNELS = 1
RATE = 44100 #sample rate
RECORD_SECONDS = 5
WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME = "pyaudio-output.wav"

p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

stream = p.open(format=FORMAT,
                channels=CHANNELS,
                rate=RATE,
                input=True,
                frames_per_buffer=CHUNK) #buffer

print("* recording")

frames = []

for i in range(0, int(RATE / CHUNK * RECORD_SECONDS)):
    data = stream.read(CHUNK)
    frames.append(data) # 2 bytes(16 bits) per channel

print("* done recording")

stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
p.terminate()

wf = wave.open(WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME, 'wb')
wf.setnchannels(CHANNELS)
wf.setsampwidth(p.get_sample_size(FORMAT))
wf.setframerate(RATE)
wf.writeframes(b''.join(frames))
wf.close()

Here's what I did for raspian Jessie (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/21014700/2088280)
1) sudo apt-get install python-dev
2) sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
3) sudo pip install pyaudio
