you installed torchaudio, but you are running python from a folder where there is a subfolder called torchaudio, so that is being picked up instead.you can change your folder and try again.

cd … python import torchaudio

Edit: ok, for some odd reason, tried to change location of source folder and then your workaround worked. Thanks!

Since this appears to have been resolved, I will close this issue. Please feel free to reopen or create a new one it if it is not the case.
