Syncing Audio
There are several ways to sync audio, depending on what clips you have to work with.
If you have an internal cam mic to use as Reference Audio the easiest and fastest way is to select the external source and the reference source, right click and use the Synchronize option.
Alternatively, you can also Right click on the timeline and select the Show Audio Time Units to use sample rate to move clips around in the timeline instead of frames, which gives much more precision.
If you don't have a reference audio to work with, you can use claps to efficiently sync the audio, or if you don't have claps or sharp noises you can use trial and error by moving the audio around to get the best possible lip sync.
