Pyaudio sound quality issues - audio

I have a know good wave file of a voice that does not play back well when using the example Python programs supplied with the PYAUDIO install. It does play back well with -aplay
Using play_wave.py the sound quality is good with the exception of a loud repetitive noise(~ 6 hz) in the background
Using play_wave_callback.py the pitch of the record voice increased significantly and the background noise is more of a buzz now (40-70 hz)
The sound quality is good when using
**aplay** -vv -D plughw:1,0 -f s16_le output.wav
It is interesting that the two sample programs yield vastly different quality while the -aplay sound quality is good. It could be the same issue. The frequency of the background noised increase by approximately 10X and the pitch of the voice increased significantly.
Any suggestions?
Some more details:
I am running these sample programs on Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Jessie build that I down load March 2016. The sound is played back through a USB sound card. I removed the onboard sound card by removing one line in /boot/config.txt
#dtparam=audio=on
aplay -l yields
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ aplay -l

Using aplay the sound quality is good, here is the output

I don't know what's the problem with PyAudio, but if you want to try something different, have a look at this example: http://python-sounddevice.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples.html#play-a-sound-file.
This is a quick extract from the example:
import sounddevice as sd
import soundfile as sf
data, fs = sf.read('myfile.wav')
sd.play(data, fs)
This example needs NumPy.
If you don't want to install that, it'll get a bit more complicated (similar to your PyAudio code), but it still works.
You can install the necessary libraries with
python3 -m pip install soundfile sounddevice

Use of ffprobe in kivy 'File not Found'

i am trying to convert audio from webm to mp3 using pudub module in android using kivy. I've included pydub,ffprobe-python,ffmpeg-python in buildozer.spec file but when i run the app i get the following error !
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffprobe'
You will need to embed ffmpeg suite binaries. ffprobe-python and ffmpeg-python are only connectors to call the binaries.

Issue installing pdftotext in Python 3.6 on CentOS due to poppler

I'm having some issues getting installing pdftotext in Python 3.6 (Anaconda 5.1.0) on CentOS.
Some quick notes first:
I'm using CentOS 6.7 on VirtualBox
I know it can work because my IT group has it installed on our server. NOTE: I found that our server did have the C++ wrapper installed and I'm trying to figure out how the got it.
I'm trying to get an existing application to work, so I'm not looking for an alternative to pdftotext the library at this time.
I followed the instructions from the github repo and already tried this step:
Fedora, Red Hat, and friends:
sudo yum install gcc-c++ pkgconfig poppler-cpp-devel python-devel redhat-rpm-config
But the problem seems to be around poppler-cpp-devel. I don't see that package within yum search poppler:

My IT group gave me the instructions of what they had attempted and I tried installing poppler-devel and poppler-glib. But every time I try pip install pdftotext I'm getting the following output:
[root#localhost stack]# pip install pdftotext

I'm assuming the problem here is that it's looking for the C++ compiled files and I could only get the glib?
What I can look into?
pdftotext should be in poppler-utils, so try yum install poppler-utils
EDIT: Hmm. There's a package called pypoppler available for CentOS 6 in the EPEL repository, which describes itself as "Python bindings for the Poppler PDF rendering library." I see no indication that it includes poppler/cpp/{anything}, but you can give it a try. (You may need to install pycairo first.)
Failing that, you might try installing an earlier version of pdftotext (e.g. pip install pdftotext==1.0.0) to find one compatible with CentOS 6. The earliest version came out in June of 2017, though, so that may not help.
I don't suppose you're interested in upgrading to CentOS 7?
There actually is a proper CentOS 7 package. It is not enough to install the poppler-devel package as it does not include the CPP header files that is required and you simply need to install the poppler-cpp and poppler-cpp-devel packages:
yum install poppler-cpp poppler-cpp-devel
After this you can pip/pip3 install the pdftotext package without custom compiling and setting environment path variables.
I found the solution to this. By following the instructions for installing libpoppler-cpp from this link, I was able to successfully install the pdftotext.
Following the instructions from this repo:
On CentOS
On CentOS the libpoppler-cpp library is not included with the system so we need to build from source. Note that recent versions of poppler require C++11 which is not available on CentOS, so we build a slightly older version of libpoppler.
# Build dependencies
yum install wget xz libjpeg-devel openjpeg2-devel
# Download and extract
wget https://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.47.0.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf poppler-0.47.0.tar.xz
cd poppler-0.47.0
# Build and install
./configure
make
sudo make install
By default libraries get installed in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. On CentOS this is not a default search path so we need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point R to the right directory:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"

PyAudio prints ALSA warnings and does not work

I am trying to run a basic python speech to text code. This is the code.
import speech_recognition as sr
r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
audio = r.listen(source)
try:
print("You said " + r.recognize(audio))
except LookupError:
print("Could not understand audio")
The code works fine until it reaches the print stage, then it throws this error. Is there anything that I have done wrong?
ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear
ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe

if someone is still looking for getting rid of
ALSA lib pcm_route.c:867:(find_matching_chmap) Found no matching channel map
I just commented out all pcm.surround* lines in "PCM interface" section in
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
file and it works fine for me.
It seems that you have multiple audio input sources, and the first one is not supported by the speech-recognition library. There is another possibility that you have no audio inputs at all.
Try different indexes (e.g. 0, 1, 2, etc) with sr.Microphone(...) as per example below:
with sr.Microphone(device_index=0) as source:
But first, it's a good idea to run cat /proc/asound/card to see what audio devices you've got.

ERROR: modinfo: could not find module

I am installing new kernel 3.12.x on redhat 6 machine. Below is my steps which I followed to install the new kernel.
extract kernel in /usr/src/ directory
Switch to cd /usr/src/linux-3.12.x
make menuconfig
saved defaults to config file
make
make modules_install
make install
In this process I am getting the following error:

Can you guys please help me to resolve this issue?
Create a link like this :
ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.12.x /usr/src/linux
and then proceed with the steps
Check this link : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/147478/error-installinig-kernel-on-centos-from-source
2.
Also if 1 doesnt work before your Step 3 copy the .config_XX file from the /boot directory of redhat6 to /usr/src/linux-3.12.x/.config. Then give your step 3 as make oldconfig. Say no to the new features added in the new kernel. Then proceed with step 5.
