How to get audio devices and names

I am trying to get the audio devices names from using PyQt4 framework in Python.

The code is as follows:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtMultimedia

temp_list=()
x=()

for i in range(5):
    temp_list=QtMultimedia.QAudioDeviceInfo.availableDevices(QtMultimedia.QAudio.AudioInput)
    x=QtMultimedia.QAudioDeviceInfo.deviceName
    print temp_list
    print x

yet somehow I can't get the device names. Not too sure how to proceed from here.

Just another way of doing it also, sounddevice lib is nice and easy to use !

py -m pip install sounddevice

import sounddevice as sd

def query():
    a = sd.query_devices()
    print(a)

query()

It seems from your example code that you don't have much experience of using Python. I would advise you to work through some tutorials before proceeding any further. The Beginners Guide on the Python wiki is a good place to start.

I would also advise you to make full use of Python's interactive mode when trying to work out how the Qt APIs work. With the use of print, you can answer basic questions very quickly and easily. Here's an example session:

Python 3.3.3 (v3.3.3:c3896275c0f6, Nov 18 2013, 21:18:40) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4 import QtMultimedia
>>> devices = QtMultimedia.QAudioDeviceInfo.availableDevices(QtMultimedia.QAudio.AudioInput)
>>> print(devices)
[<PyQt4.QtMultimedia.QAudioDeviceInfo object at 0x00CC5C30>, <PyQt4.QtMultimedia.QAudioDeviceInfo object at 0x00CC5C70>]
>>> for device in devices:
...     print(device.deviceName())
...
Intel(r) Integrated Audio
default
