    Can you tell us what the separate audio recorder was, the file type recorded, timecode or not, timecode type (ie PAL/ NTSC DF non drop),plus the video file information, including frame rate and timecode type.

    Then we need to know the sequence settings including frame rate, timecode settings and audio sample rate. This is the basic information needed to help solve your problem.

    Please also think about basic punctuation. Your post is hard to read.

    1st of all i would like to say that english is not my first language so i apologize for my spelling mistakes.
    I am using the video footage from sony pmw ex3 cameras, PAL settings 720/50p, the external audio device is an ediroll it records in wav format. when i drag the clip in the timeline i click yes for the sequence to be modified to the clip settings.

    Is your Ederol recording at 48k sample rate? If not, open the audio file in QuickTime Pro or an app like MPEG Streamclip (free, if you’re not familiar with it) and export the file with the sample rate set to 48k (16 or 24 bit). Then import that file and see if it syncs.
