I had this error, when trying to run python speecrecognition I tried to run a basic speech recognition in python but it didn't work. I have installed pyaudio and pytssx3 and speechrecognition and am running the latest version of pip and python. It says alsa error. By the way i have connected a bluetooth headphone to the computer since my in-built microphone isn't good enough.
