I'm trying to record some sound with RPI using python and pyaudio library and facing a few interesting issues - junky console output when attempting to use pyaudio and lots of noise mixing into the recording.
Here is what I'm doing in my python script:
import pyaudio, wave, utils
BUFFER_SIZE = 1024
REC_SECONDS = 5
RATE = 44100
WAV_FILENAME = utils.generate_random_token()
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16
#init sound stream
pa = pyaudio.PyAudio()
stream = pa.open(
format = FORMAT,
input = True,
channels = 1,
rate = RATE,
input_device_index = 7,
frames_per_buffer = BUFFER_SIZE
)
#run recording
print('Recording...')
data_frames = []
for f in range(0, RATE/BUFFER_SIZE * REC_SECONDS):
data = stream.read(BUFFER_SIZE)
data_frames.append(data)
print('Finished recording...')
stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
pa.terminate()
The following console output comes right out when I instantiate PyAudio() - am I missing some sort of alsa setup that I need to do in order to fix the issue?
