How to Add Audio Output to Raspberry Pi Zero

Raspberry Pi Zero has HDMI, Bluetooth and USB for potential Audio Outputs but it is missing PWM audio output compared to full-sized Raspberry Pi.
If your project requires PWM audio output on Raspberry Pi Zero, you can custom add it by connecting bits of electronic components together.
