Unanticipated host error

[LenBen]

When I attempt to use the library I get an error. The error message is:
lProject\test.py", line 11, in
stream = p.open(
^^^^^^^
File "C:\Users\lenny\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pyaudio_init_.py", line 639, in open
stream = PyAudio.Stream(self, *args, **kwargs)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "C:\Users\lenny\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pyaudio_init_.py", line 441, in init
self._stream = pa.open(**arguments)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OSError: [Errno -9999] Unanticipated host error

The code I am trying to run is:
import pyaudio
import wave

FRAMES_PER_BUFFER = 512
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16
CHANNELS = 1
RATE = 16000

p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

stream = p.open(
format=FORMAT,
channels=CHANNELS,
rate=RATE,
input=True,
frames_per_buffer=FRAMES_PER_BUFFER

)

print("Start recording")

seconds = 5
frames = []

for i in range(0, int(RATE/FRAMES_PER_BUFFER*seconds)):
try:
data = stream.read(FRAMES_PER_BUFFER)
frames.append(data, FRAMES_PER_BUFFER)
except:
print("Life is lemons i like melons and pasta")

stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()

p.terminate()

obj = wave.open("output.wav", "wb")
obj.setnchannels(CHANNELS)
obj.setsampwidth(p.get_sample_size)
obj.setframerate(RATE)
obj.writeframes(b"".join(frames))
obj.close()

I am using windows 11 with python 3.11.5 and pyaudio 0.2.13

Can someone please help?

Unfortunately, now I'm booted into Ubuntu, so there's nothing I can do at this point. You could post a question on SO.

I just pulled latest changes from upstream, so you might give another try.

Thank you! I found out that I just needed to move the file to the root folder of my C: drive, for some reason didn't like it on a cloud folder

[LenBen]

Nevermind, it stopped working and is still giving me the same error messge, I've also upgraded pyaudio to the latest version.

Try using a different machine, I was using a machine that belongs to my organization and the security software installed was protecting data from I/O devices

I am also getting the same error. I cannot reach out to my vendor, nor can I add an exclusion to execute the code.
Is it possible to use PyAudio to access the microphone on a system with antivirus installed, or what are the alternative methods for utilizing the microphone?
