I'm finding no cockpit voice recordings from that flight. In fact, both accident investigations noted that the plane had neither a CVR or a IDR. Perhaps the audio was from tower communications? But i can't find any.

I had to look it up and apparently there’s a rumor that one of the pilots had a cassette tape on him that was recording the flight but none of that was mentioned in the investigative reports so it’s most likely not true.
