Since you are on windows, go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio and download pyaudio according to the version of python that you have Then navigate to the directory that contains your file and install the module except replacing the module name with the file name

e.g.

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl
