I had the same issue and I solved it by using the WHL file which you can download from:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio.

There are several versions that you can download and use.
For example, PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl.

For installing purposes on the command prompt, write

pip install "path"\PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Use this link to download the .whl file according to the python version it supports:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

Then, go to the following directory and run this command on the command prompt:

C:\Users\shris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts> pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

Try this (in admin mode command prompt):

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

pipwin is like pip, but it installs precompiled Windows binaries provided by Christoph Gohlke. Saves you a lot of googling and manual downloading.

Here is my computer configuration:

  • Windows 10
  • Python 3.8.0 installed on C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\Python38-32

I've got the same issue and i solved it with these steps:

  1. download PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win32.whl from here on my computer in C:\Downloads\PyAudio-0.2.11-cp38-cp38-win32.whl

  2. run C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\Python38-32\Scripts>pip3.8 install C:\Downloads\PyAudio-0.2.11-cp38-cp38-win32.whl --user

It seems you need to install portaudio first.

According to official docs of pyaudio:

Microsoft Windows

Install using pip:

python -m pip install pyaudio

Notes: pip will fetch and install PyAudio wheels (prepackaged binaries). Currently, there are wheels compatible with the official distributions of Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. For those versions, both 32-bit and 64-bit wheels are available.

You try to install pyaudio for 3.7, so it try to compile it. Download and install wheel from Gohlke - Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages. Wheels for 32 and 64-bit python 3.7 are available.
