PyAudio throwing Input overflowed - anthares - Jun-14-2020

Hello everyone,

I am trying out pyaudio with python3.
I am following the example provided at this link to record audio with pyaudio.

https://realpython.com/playing-and-recording-sound-python/

However, when I try to execute it without making any changes at all, I get

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test_pyaudio_recording.py", line 25, in <module>
    data = stream.read(chunk)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyaudio.py", line 608, in read
    return pa.read_stream(self._stream, num_frames, exception_on_overflow)
OSError: [Errno -9981] Input overflowed

Any possible work around to this?

Thanks in advance,
G.

I read in few posts to try to increase the chunk size.
I was about to give up when I saw that even a value equal to 65535 was not giving any benefit.

I tried to double that up, and with a chunk size equal to 131072 it works...

Is this the expected behaviour?

...I thought that was somehow a solution but it is not..

The issue still exists...

any idea?

thanks.

I dropped the bitrate down to 22050 monochannel, and it doesnt overflow anymore.

But I still don't understand how to proceed if I want to stick to the 44100.
