I believe that there are no shipping ICE40 boards with audio ports. There are some with pmod ports, but then one has to buy more stuff to plug in. It is an important market which is not being served.

There are several of us interested in Audio.
We are looking at the Pico-Ice
https://pico-ice.tinyvision.ai/

And the Pico Fabric.
https://picolemon.com/board/picofabric

The problem with the Pico Ice is that we have to separately buy the Diligent pmod, and worse yet solder pmods onto the boards. Sure I can do that, but my users will have a hard time doing it. The holes are so small, even I will have a hard time doing it.

The problem with the Pico Fabric is that it does not quite work yet, and they are waiting for parts for 3 more months. Also it uses the ECP5, and is more expensive. And it does not have audio input.

You are most welcome to join our discord servers and meet us.

The great thing about joining this group, is that we will then build the Audio Verilog for you. In fact I am already building it. The Upduino has one pmod presoldered where I can plug in the Diligent stereoaudio pmod. Or at least the audio out part of that Diligent audio pmod. At least two of us have that UPduino board.
