These Windows ARM64 wheels are not official PyAudio releases. They are community-built binaries compiled from the official PyAudio source code and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially supported by the PyAudio project or its maintainers.
Precompiled Windows ARM64 wheels are currently available for Python 3.13 only.
Download the latest Windows ARM64 .whl file from the Releases page and install it using:
python -m pip install pyaudio-0.2.15-cp313-cp313-win_arm64.whlpython -m pip install pyaudioThis installs the precompiled PyAudio library with PortAudio v19 19.7.0 included. The library is compiled with support for Windows MME API, DirectSound, WASAPI, and WDM-KS. It does not include support for ASIO. If you require support for APIs not included, you will need to compile PortAudio and PyAudio.
Use Homebrew to install the prerequisite portaudio library, then install PyAudio using pip:
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudioUse the package manager to install PyAudio. For example, on Debian-based systems:
sudo apt install python3-pyaudioAlternatively, if the latest version of PyAudio is not available, install it using pip. Be sure to first install development libraries for portaudio19 and python3.
