Step 4:
Change the setting: Audio desynchronization compensation.
Adjust it so that it matches the video. You may have to play around this a bit
The values are in the unit of ms(milli seconds).
So 1000ms = 1 sec
Note: Positive numbers move the audio forward
Negative nubmers move the audio back

Step 5.
Click on Save.
-Be sure to go back in the options again and change it to zero after you are done watching the video that was initially out of sync.
-Or you can click on |Reset All| once you are in the Preferences window
------------------------------------------------------------------
Second method: On the fly method using the keyboard shortcuts
if you want to change the sync on VLC media player:
While watching the video
ctrl + K or ctrl + L
to increase/decrease delay
(it goes up by 50 miliseconds each time)
This does not have the same precision as the previous method bu tit works on the fly. Once you are close, then you can go in the Preferences menu to adjust with more accuracy.
the end

Just wondering, does this reset when you watch a new video or will it keep the same offset and you have to remember to set it back to 0?

Using Method 1, after you press the save button, the settings do not reset each time and are saved until the next change. Therefore, one must remember to go back in there and reset it to 0 for a movie whose audio is in sync.
Using Method 2, the synchronization settings are reset each time you start a video.

I can't thank you enough! There isn't anything more annoying than when the audio and video are out of sync and I'd been looking for ways to correct it. Once again, thank you.
