No module pyaudio / unable to install pyaudio via pip on Windows native

[estherwang01]

Problem: pip install pyaudio does not work on Windows native + running the GUI results in a no module pyaudio error

Solution (manual installation, not automated yet):

• Check Python version on your device
• Download the corresponding .whl file for your Python version/32 vs 64bit from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio (for example, PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl would be used for a device that's 64bit / python 3.8.x)
• Place the .whl in Programs>python>python38 (or whatever you have)>scripts
• Copy the filepath of the .whl file
• run pip install [filepath from above]

If you run into the issue filename.whl is not supported wheel on this platform in the last step above, it is likely the result of one of two issues:

• The .whl file doesn't match your python version
• It isn't the right bit number (Note that 32 bit python can be run on 64 bit machines so make sure that isn't causing issues)

For virtual environments, I found that putting the .whl file in the virtual environment's Scripts folder works well - other than that, I was able to get this working on Windows 10 native 🎉
