Answer 1

You may check your anti-virus SW. I got the same problem "OSError: [Errno - 9999] Unanticipated host error" every time I tried to record the wave file by pyAudio. I check and confirm all the parameters OK. I was stuck for several days before I noticed the anti-virus on my PC block my python script call to the hardware level.

All the thing I need to do is disable or exit the anti-virus SW and everything work well again.
