Pyaudio installed with Conda but not found on Import

Question

I have installed pyaudio with conda, but my jupyter notebook can't find the module pyaudio on import. I have trying uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. Here is a few relevant information:

On my second attempt, I first ran conda config --add channels conda-forge and then conda install pyaudio. Packages installed this way were:

Package	Build
alsa-lib-1.2.11	hd590300_1 542 KB conda-forge
jack-1.9.22	h7c63dc7_2 453 KB conda-forge
libdb-6.2.32	h9c3ff4c_0 23.3 MB conda-forge
libopus-1.3.1	h7f98852_1 255 KB conda-forge
openssl-3.2.1	hd590300_1 2.7 MB conda-forge
portaudio-19.6.0	h7c63dc7_9 113 KB conda-forge
pyaudio-0.2.14	py311h459d7ec_0 37 KB conda-forge

This was better than the first time (without conda-forge), where I just got the last two packages.

Other relevant information:

• My version of python is 3.11.8

• conda list | grep pyaudio yields pyaudio 0.2.14 py311h459d7ec_0 conda-forge

• Conda and python (3) seems to be in the same path, that is running which on them gives: /home/andrea/anaconda3/bin/conda /home/andrea/anaconda3/bin/python /home/andrea/anaconda3/bin/python3

• pip show pyaudio gives

    Required-by:

• Running the code on a script audio-attempt.py instead of jupyter does not change the error
• echo $PYTHONPATH yields an empty string. However, I guess there is a default value if the latter is empty, since other modules are normally loaded.

If you need anything else, I will be happy to share. Thanks for the help.
