MacOS Adaptation: Switched from PyAudioWPatch to PyAudio

[Mahmoudz]

Refined for Core Audio, this update discontinues Windows compatibility. The changes include using PyAudio instead of PyAudioWPatch for audio integration. Please note that this adaptation is exclusively for macOS and may not work on Windows.

Warning: Discontinued Windows Compatibility

With my limited 30 minute timeframe, I prioritized adapting this awesome tool for my macOS.
However, merging these alterations into the main branch will jeopardize Windows compatibility.
To guarantee compatibility for both macOS and Windows, additional modifications are essential yet easy to be done.
Lastly, it is recommended to maintain these adjustments separate from the main branch until a comprehensive solution can ensure a seamless experience for all users.

Thanks @Mahmoudz for your work. At the very same moment, I am also trying to get it up and running on my Mac.

Did you check out the other PR from @enemaliwilliam? Here is the issue discussion #10 (comment) and here is another discussion in his PR #40 and his branch https://github.com/enemaliwilliam/ecoute/tree/add-mac-os-support? There is also @clevertang who tried it https://github.com/clevertang/ecoute/tree/mac_only

I currently review your version and try to get it running. The problem I face is that the DefaultMicRecorder ("You") and the DefaultSpeakerRecorder ("Speaker") get the same audio "duplicated", even when I use my Airpods. So I tried to change AudioRecorder.py:45 to source = sr.Microphone(device_index=1). Here is my code change in its context:

class DefaultSpeakerRecorder(BaseRecorder):
    def __init__(self):
        p = pyaudio.PyAudio()
        try:
            # Use the default input device as the audio source
            self.list_all_speakers(p)
            default_device_index = p.get_default_input_device_info()["index"]
            source = sr.Microphone(device_index=1) #default_device_index)
            super().__init__(source=source, source_name="Speaker")
            self.adjust_for_noise("Default Speaker", "Please make or play some noise from the Default Speaker...")
        finally:
            p.terminate()

    def list_all_speakers(self, p):
      print('Available speakers:')
      for i in range(p.get_device_count()):
        device_info = p.get_device_info_by_index(i)
        print(f"Speaker {i}: {device_info['name']}")
        # Speaker 0: Florians AirPods
        # Speaker 1: Florians AirPods
        # Speaker 2: Flo Microphone
        # Speaker 3: U32R59x
        # Speaker 4: MacBook Pro Microphone
        # Speaker 5: MacBook Pro Speakers
        # Speaker 6: Microsoft Teams Audio
        # Speaker 7: ZoomAudioDevice

However, I still get every audio duplicated in the UI like:

You: [so I'm ready now]
Speaker: [So, I am ready now.]

Do you have a hint how to change the device index? Is the separation between You and Speaker working fine for you? Do you use a headset?

is there any updates on this?
