"Python Sounddevice Library Audio Recording Issue: Error Querying Device"

I am experiencing an issue while recording audio using the sounddevice library in Python. The error states "Error during recording: Error querying device <device_number>". I am using Windows 11 and have configured Stereo Mix as the input device. Despite having installed the required dependencies (numpy, sounddevice) and troubleshooting device settings, the issue persists.

I'm seeking assistance to:
- Debug this issue
- Check the system configuration
- Ensure the correct setup for Python audio recording

I would greatly appreciate any additional insights into potential conflicts with device drivers or libraries.
