Hello, I'm sure your Luckofx Pico has a stable power supply that can theoretically use a USB sound card. The Luckofx Pico USB can use Udisk's high-speed devices normally in host mode, and can generally support UAC high-speed devices similar to USB sound cards in software

It is not recommended to use the audio function on this board because there are many aspects that require you to do it yourself. We only provide the general direction and do not offer debugging support. It roughly includes the following points:
  • You need to add the driver by yourself and compile the image. It is not supported by default.

  • We have only tested this specific driver-free audio module. We have no knowledge about other modules as they haven't been tested.

  • For the hardware interface, a powered HUB should be used to prevent insufficient power supply.
If any of the above situations is not met, it may lead to the inability to use the USB AUDIO module.

okay so summarize it all, i need to take sdk from github, then enable snd audio in the kernel and write the image to sd card, and then connect the usb audio device to type c port of board (im sorry im new to this)

You have no problem with your implementation idea, and this method is also suitable for making SPI NAND images
