How to fix out of sync audio track?

[Bsmooth]

I'm putting all my blurays on hard drive. I'm older so I always use subtitles, but some of the vocal audio tracks are near impossible to hear. On the more quiet ones I am actually redoing the audio tracks using Audacity. Trouble is sometime and I don't know why yet it gets out of sync with the video.
The way I do it is; seperate the audio track using MkvToolInc, then adjust in Audacity. Put it back in by using MKVToolInc, and everything is usually fine.
I have found a workaround by watching the movie with VLCMedia Player and in tools there is a resync option where its adjustable. Then I find the amount usually in ms and then in Audacity, add or take away the amount of time and it usually works... after a few tries.
Would anyone have any idea what would cause the delay while I adjust in Audacity or with the add or remove option using MKVToolInc?
Its driving me crazy.

I believe you mean you use MKVtoolnix.
In it there is this setting you could try:
"Timestamps and default duration
Delay (in ms):"
You can use -(negative) also depending on which direction the "out of sync is".
This corrects the video sync as far as I can tell.
You can use VLC to determine the setting in ms.
In VLC use the hotkeys k & j for this.

Can I assume you are working with ,MKV files after using MKVtoolnix?
This is an unusual fix for some problems with .MKV files & it has fixed an out of sync problem sometimes.
I do not know why.
Multiplex the file as is with MKVtoolnix.
Then "Chapterize" the file with MKV-Chapterizer-v2.4.
Uncheck overwrite old files. That way you keep the old file as is.
And get a new file also.

Sorry yes MKVtoolnix is correct. I tried that delay feature in it, but it just immediately goes to 100% finished without doing anything. Yes using MKV files. Weird problem indeed

I will have to give mkvtoolnix a try on an .mkv to see if it immediately goes to 100% finished without doing anything.
I have not use the delay feature much if any.

You could give the MKV-Chapterizer-v2.4 a try.
At worst it just won't help.

What I would really like to do is find out why its happening in the first place.

Use mediainfo to see the original delay. Note it and mux the new created audiostreams with the same delay.
