This message appears when installing pycaw using "pip install pycaw" and trying to get microphone: "AttributeError: type object 'AudioUtilities' has no attribute 'GetMicrophone'".

However, in dev version (pip install https://github.com/AndreMiras/pycaw/archive/develop.zip) error message is different. It's related on imports - when I'm trying to import AudioUtilities from pycaw.pycaw, this appears: from pycaw.api.audioclient import IAudioClient, ISimpleAudioVolume ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycaw.api'.

The most interesting, that file "pycaw/utils.py", which now on github repo, has "GetMicrophone" method. Of course, I have already solved this - simply by pasting missing mehod in "Python\Lib\site-packages\pycaw.py" file, but that still a problem.

One way to fix that is to download the api folder from https://github.com/AndreMiras/pycaw/tree/develop/pycaw and then put that folder in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\pycaw

The reason why it gives you error says No module namedpycaw.api` is because in that pycaw folder there no folder called api

Since more than year, I found that still opened. pycaw==20220416 correctly gives me access to method GetMicrophone():

from comtypes import CLSCTX_ALL, COMObject
from pycaw.pycaw import (AudioUtilities, IAudioEndpointVolume,
    IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback)

class MicrophoneController(AudioUtilities):
    '''
    This controller uses "pycaw" module to operate with microphone states.
    Initalizate connection to default microphone in system if any available.
    '''
    def __init__(self):
        self.__mic = cast(self.GetMicrophone().Activate(\
                IAudioEndpointVolume._iid_, CLSCTX_ALL, None),\
                    POINTER(IAudioEndpointVolume))

    def mute_mic(self):
        '''Mutes system microphone.'''
        self.__mic.SetMute(True, None)

    def unmute_mic(self):
        '''Unmutes system microphone.'''
        self.__mic.SetMute(False, None)
    ...

Thanks for such amazing project!
