Please provide more detailed information so that we can help you better:

  1. what product are you using?
  2. what commands are you running that are causing the problem?
  3. what system are you using, Raspberry Pi OS, Bullseye or Bookworm, 32-bit or 64-bit.
  1. Picar-x robotics kit
  2. move.py and app_control.py (but now i restarted the whole robot and all of the codes are not working due to pyaudio not downloading)
  3. Raspberry Pi Legacy 64-bit

Try installing pyaudio manually.
sudo pip3 install pyaudio --break-system-packages
