sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening InputStream: Internal PortAudio error [PaErrorCode -9986]

[nishakaushik3108]

_my code is :_

import sounddevice as sd from scipy.io.wavfile import write

fs=44100 seconds=5

myrecording=sd.rec(int(seconds*fs), samplerate=fs,channels=1) sd.wait() write('output.wav',fs,myrecording)

and i am getting this error File "/Users/i543481/internship-project/lastTry.py", line 7, in myrecording=sd.rec(int(seconds*fs), samplerate=fs,channels=1) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sounddevice.py", line 274, in rec ctx.start_stream(InputStream, samplerate, ctx.input_channels, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sounddevice.py", line 2573, in start_stream self.stream = StreamClass(samplerate=samplerate, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sounddevice.py", line 1415, in init _StreamBase.init(self, kind='input', wrap_callback='array', File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sounddevice.py", line 892, in init _check(_lib.Pa_OpenStream(self._ptr, iparameters, oparameters, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sounddevice.py", line 2738, in _check raise PortAudioError(errormsg, err) sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening InputStream: Internal PortAudio error [PaErrorCode -9986]

Same fix as #299

Uninstall portaudio and reinstall it using brew install portaudio --HEAD

brew install portaudio --HEAD did not work on bigsur 11.2.3 now...

It's working on my side with macOS 11.2.3, have you properly uninstalled it?
