Synchronisation Issues with a USB microphone and Video Editor

[Cannon Fodder HANS]

I have just got a new USB microphone and I'm having problems with the audio from it going out of sync with the in-game audio. When I watch the footage I have recorded the in-game audio starts to lag behind the microphone and it has me really puzzled.

I use DXtory to record and Sony Vegas to edit and previously I was using a headset with an audio jack to record. The audio would go out of sync when I did a lot of cuts in the edit (I have read this has happened to others so I just dealt with it) but now the audio is going out before any cuts are made and the only way I can think to solve it is to spend a lot of time cutting and matching the two audio tracks up by hand which seems really inconvenient.

Has anyone else experienced any similar problems and if so how did they remedy it?

Cheers

@Zeito might throw a few cents on this.

Probably need to know what microphone and your PC specs.

are you sure you have it all properly configured? 

Have you searched proper forums/Google for answers/fixes?

You could Check that the sampling rates are the same

Is this only on viewing it back or ingame too?

What type of USB microphone? Does it use it's own mini usb soundcard?

If you just record some audio and video that isnt a game - does it go out of sync?

Is it only going out of sync in Vegas? Is it a legitimate copy of Vegas? It could be an anti-piracy measure. As far as i know in some Editing workstations as the audio and video tracks are seperate distinct tracks, you have to edit both in time, or lock one track to another. I.e. so when you cut or chop parts of the video, it does the audio in the same place.

What are the computer specs? What if you use a different recording applications like OBS or shadowplay, or AMDs Gaming Evolved recorder?

@SamatlewissYeah, I was searching all last night trying to find an answer but couldn't find anything relevant.

The microphone is a Rode NT-USB. It just plugs in and plays and doesn't require any drivers and I have set it as the default device. I do use Voicemeeter to split the in game audio from the microphone and I just changed the options on the hardware input from my old microphone (Turtle Beach PX-11) to the Rode.

@RossssIt only seems to be happening when I viewed it back as I was answering questions to people before they asked them in game. I could understand it more if the mic was lagging and put it down to latency but because the game audio is behind it's quite confusing.

@lionel There is an option on DXtory for the audio codec and I have kept everything the same bar changing the input device.(PCM 44100 hz, 16 bit Stereo).

I will try it using OBS and also with another game to see what happens.

EDIT: Fixed it.

I tried it in OBS and it was fine so I did a search for DXtory and I found that if I changed some settings it would work. Thanks for everyone's help.
