Did you allow python to access your mic? New windows versions have access control built into Settings > Privacy > Microphone. Check this. Possible dupe here. — B_Dex_Float
Yeah I ran the same code a day before and it was accessing my mic fine, but then when I ran it the next day I started getting this error with PyAudio — Gia Mancini
I hope one of these helps you ( 1 2 ). If that didn't work, let us know. — B_Dex_Float

I had alot of issues using pyaudio my self what fixed it for me was pasting this in

if (not os.environ.get('PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY', '') and getattr(ssl, '_create_unverified_context', None)):
