Unable to record from microphone on M1 MacBook Pro

I am trying to use pyaudio to stream input from the microphone on M1 MacBookPro, but getting OSErrors. Here is the code to list different microphones,

    def list_microphones(pyaudio_instance):
        info = pyaudio_instance.get_host_api_info_by_index(0)
        numdevices = info.get('deviceCount')

        result = []
        for i in range(0, numdevices):
            if (pyaudio_instance.get_device_info_by_host_api_device_index(0, i).get('maxInputChannels')) > 0:
                name = pyaudio_instance.get_device_info_by_host_api_device_index(
                    0, i).get('name')
                result += [[i, name]]
        return result

On running this I get two microphone (external and inbuilt) -- [[0, 'External Microphone'], [2, 'MacBook Pro Microphone']]. I have tried both options,

Microphone 1 or 2: Internal -- Error is OSError: [Errno -9999] Unanticipated host error

Code

audio = pyaudio.PyAudio()
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16
CHANNELS = 1
RATE = 44100
FRAME_DURATION = 30
CHUNK = int(RATE * FRAME_DURATION / 1000)
RECORD_SECONDS = 50

#
stream = audio.open(input_device_index=2, # or 0
                format=FORMAT,
                channels=CHANNELS,
                rate=RATE,
                input=True,
                frames_per_buffer=CHUNK)

Error
