How to unlock the Broken Family achievement in Transference - Definitive Guide
I struggled using the guide to get this to unlock after following the guide several times. I ended up using Makas guide and it popped on the one I had missing. Below is makas guide. I take no credit for this. All goes to maka

Thanks for the tips everyone - I had a very glitchy first play through, where cheevos popped on my phone, but not on the console, lol! Then when I got to the point where the audio log achievement should pop, nothing.
I couldn't figure out how to delete my cloud save, as I just pressed 'Delete All', in the 'Saved Data' section of 'Manage Game and Add-ons' for Transference. But this seemed to only deleet the local save.
I tried this, and tried to 'skip syncing' when I loaded the game, and played it through the 2nd time, but I realised it had still synced with the cloud save, as the video logs were already collected. I finished the game, but no achievement unfortunately.
For the 3rd playthrough, I went back into the game tile for Transference, pressed the menu (start) button, selected 'Manage Games and Add-ons', went down to 'Saved data', pressed A, but this time DIDN'T choose 'DELETE ALL', and instead went down to the specfic save data file for my profile (directly under 'Delete All', with my profile pic, profile name, and '12.6KB'), and pressed A on that, and chose 'Delete Everywhere'.
Then I ran through the game again, following Makas guide exactly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXC0Lke_z6M), and at 24:45, when he checks the last answer phone message, and his audio log cheevo pops, mine did too this time :)
Hope that helps someone!

I missed the radio in the kid's shack the first playthrough. I heard it, but thought it wasn't necessary for some reason. Luckily, everything is cumulative, so once I played through to that point, it unlocked.

There are 10 audio logs in the game. They come in the form of answering machine messages, walkie talkies, and tape recorders. Some can only be found while the rooms are corrupted, and others only once the rooms become uncorrupted. Every time you pick up an audio log, make sure to press and hold to listen to it, or else it won't count! You don't have to listen through the whole thing. Just triggering the audio log to play is enough.
There are a total of 10 audio logs, and they come in many forms: recorders, phone messages, and walkie talkies, to name a few. Many are hidden pretty well, so make sure to follow the guide for where each is. I have listed each below. Alternatively, if you prefer a video guide, refer to the ""Deus ex machina"" achievement solution for a 100% walkthrough courtesy of Maka.
- Immediately upon entering the apartment, look right to see a kid run away in the hall. Now a message will be available on the answering machine to your left. Click on it to play it.
- In the apartment, go to the hallway and flip the white light switch. Now head back to the answering machine to automatically hear a message.
- In the kitchen, after uncorrupting it and seeing a brief cutscene, flip the light switch on the wall to switch to green. Now there will be an audio log on the counter.
- After finishing in the garage outside with the computer, when you walk back into the kitchen there will be a new recorder on the counter on the left.
- Immediately after the previous one, make a left into the hallway and then a right back to the entrance to the apartment and listen to a new message on the answering machine.
- Once you open Ben's room with the password, on his desk to the right of his computer is a walkie talkie to pick up and listen to.
- After getting attacked by your wife in your bedroom, head to the kitchen, switch the yellow light switch, then head back to the living room. You'll find a radio straight back on the floor.
- After placing the sand in the hourglass and triggering the clock puzzle in the corner of the living room, before solving the puzzle, look down to your right on the table to find a recorder.
- After uncorrupting the living room with the clock puzzle, go to the corner of the room with the audio equipment to find a walkie talkie.
- After the previous one, head back to the entrance to the apartment to find a new message on the answering machine.

The trophy description doesn't quite match what you need to do. Wrong translation. It is necessary to interact with all audio sources: tape recorders, voice recorders, answering machines, etc.
