Unable to install PyAudio in Python 3.9 (Windows, Ubuntu) - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to install PyAudio on Python 3.9. I am running Windows 10 and using an Ubuntu bash. I've tried both pip3 install and pip3 install pyasn‑1.6.0b1‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl. The second being an attempt to use the unofficial 3.9 wheel from here.
This is what I get when I attempt pip3 install pyaudio:

In the error message, I'm noticing a reference to Python 3.8, which I don't have. Is this part of the error?
And this is what I get when I attempt pip3 install pyasn‑1.6.0b1‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl:
ERROR: PyAudio-0.2.11-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
I've checked, and I'm certain that I have x64 Python. I also tried a different version in case this one was buggy.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try installing python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev

Answer 2

sudo apt-get install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0
try the above snippet before running
pip install pyaudio
it worked for me
