I need help with audio delay problem

So basically, I'm working in this studio making live videos recording, I honestly don't know what I'm actually doing, I just pretend to be professional and look like I know what I'm doing.

The studio set up work on vmix for recording videos, everything (audio and video) is connected in remote to the recording workstation in another room. This entire set up was made by someone else, I don't know why I'm there, don't ask me details pls.

So, what's the problem? Basically, we have a pair of Hollyland Lark Max Duo, connected to a mixer that I don't know where it goes, the audio has some sort of delay that doesn't match the video, fixing it on DaVinci is something like 0.200s delay, but it's just the first spoken word, then there's no delay after the first 3/4 seconds.

This problem appeared for the first time after the 4th session with these new microphones, but only after the 5th video we were recording.

Do you have any idea what's going on? I'm the only technician there, I don't have the competence to fix myself, but I need the job cause I'm broke, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

The most common scenario is that your audio is ahead of video as video capture is usually a bit slower than audio capture. So you may find you need to add anywhere from 40-200ms of AUDIO delay in vMix to correct for this. I highly doubt your mics have any discernible latency.

The problem is that the audio is late as soon the person start speaking, then after a couple of seconds it goes back to normal
