Stream read error [Errno -9988] Stream closed

[danielquintas8]

I have been getting this error consistently now. Any ideia on how to fix it?

Got this one too 5 min ago. Was only one single time here and I could not reproduce it so far. Just wanted to let you know that I'm aware and looking for a solution.

Deleting pyaudio package and adding it again seems to help. However, its only a temporary solution, as this eventually happens again...

Did some research and found the -9988 mentioned in a lot of github issues. Did not find a solution though, I feel it can occur due to a lot of reasons. One might be an input overflow like mentioned here, which could probably be fixed by adding exception_on_overflow=False to the method that reads from the stream. But I'd expect a -9981 error to be logged before that.

Might be some microphone or hardware issue, not sure. I'll add the exception_on_overflow parameter just in case and implement reinitialization of pyaudio stream in case of errors. No perfect solution, but should at least help.
