Hi,

I got this error when I try to laugh tg-timer:
||PaMacCore (AUHAL)|| Error on line 1277: err='-66748', msg=Unknown Error
Error opening audio input: Internal PortAudio error

Have you got a idea and and a solution to solve this?

Best regard

Same here

After some research, the portaudio need some permission with the microphone from macos to execute. When a software need a permission, a popup window appears and asks to give the permission. Here, nothing appears and we need to give manually the permission.

Having the same trouble, the solution provided @ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65432130/pyaudio-oserror-errno-9986-internal-portaudio-error worked for me:
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies portaudio​
brew install portaudio --HEAD​

Wow, thank you, it works for me
