Most probably you are using Mac OS. I had the similar issue, because I was using Atom editor to run the python code. Try to run your code from the terminal of Mac OS (or Power Shell if you are using windows), (in case a popup appears for access to microphone on Mac OS, press Ok). Thats it! your code will record fine. As a tester, please run the code below to check if you can visualize the sound, and make surer to run it through Terminal (No editors or IDEs).

Your code is working fine. The problem you are facing is due to the admin rights. I suppose your microphone device is installed and working properly. If you are not sure about the audio installation status, then as per operating system do these steps:

Your code is working fine. The problem you are facing is due to the admin rights. The audio file has constant 0 data, therefore, you can't listen to sound in the generated wav file.

Save this file as voice.py to a folder (let say AUDIO). Then cd to AUDIO folder from the terminal command and then execute it using:

python3 voice.py

or

python voice.py

depending on your python env name.
