I tried to install pyaudio for my python project but it won't work once for the dozen of time I tried installing. Is this a problem with the visual studio that I am using?

Use wheel here.
Eg for you.

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

I did try the https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio, unfortunately it didn't work for me. I'm hoping someone can somehow help me do this.
