If the original question is the simplest / low cost / minimal approach to driving a small low cost / quality speaker from a Pico then a simple push / pull emitter follower with output cap works fine here



Yes its LO-FI
Yes there is a little hiss
Yes it may be outputting 44khz (but I cant hear it)
Yes the output is only about 2v p-p @ 40khz and the audio is below that

But it is simple

P.S. Just found Phil99's original post and that is an elegant solution:

with only a couple of extra components.
