i was just thinking about all the equipment on all the various spacecraft, probes and am wondering if there has ever been any audio equipment included.

Though the data was not recorded with a microphone, NASA has posted an "audio" playback of the plasma pulses produced by impacts of dust particles on the Cassini probe when it passed through the plane of Saturn's rings recently:
When Cassini reached Saturn on June 30th, it dashed through a gap in
Saturn's rings, twice. One of the onboard science instruments recorded a
flurry of ring-dust harmlessly striking the spacecraft. Read today's story
and listen to sounds--like "hail hitting a tin roof."

Best wishes to all,
