An image stores pixels; an audio file stores a sound waveform. Neither contains the other, so no tool can turn a picture into a sound recording.
Looking to turn a HEIC into M4A? Here's the honest answer — and the conversions that actually work.

HEIC is the high-efficiency format iPhones and iPads use to store photos — about half the size of JPG, but not supported everywhere, so it often needs converting.
HEIC opens on Apple devices and Windows 11; older systems need it converted to JPG/PNG.
M4A is an AAC-based audio format common on Apple devices and iTunes — better quality than MP3 at the same size.
M4A plays on Apple devices, iTunes and most modern players.
No. Images and audio are fundamentally different, so there's nothing to convert. You can convert your HEIC to PNG, JPG or TIFF instead.
Maybe a video or slideshow with audio — use a video tool. A HEIC image can't hold sound.
HEIC converts cleanly to PNG, JPG or TIFF — free, no sign-up, no watermark.
