Audio skips/jumps on intervals

[McKenzie5E4B]

Hi all,

I'm editing video footage I shot a couple years ago and only now have I relized there are jumps/skips in the audio. It seems upon recording, either my mic or Open Broadcaster Software dropped the recording on intervals every second. I can delete the gaps and the audio flows pretty smoothly still, but then because of the cuts it no longer aligns with the video. The audio is a .wav file already so I don't believe its an issue with the file type. Is there any tool I can use to bridge the gaps in the audio? And better yet, is there a way I can bridge all of the gaps at once, since the recording is 2.5 hours long?

Thanks

Bridge them with what, exactly? You've already said that if you join the gaps (which there is a tool to do) that it will go out of sync with the video, so I can't see quite what it is you are trying to achieve here?

Is there a way to fill in or get rid of the gaps in the audio and not have the audio de-sync with the video?

Only if you put equivalent gaps in the video. What you are asking for attempts to defy the Laws of Physics! The sound and the pictures are temporally aligned, and any change in either without an equivalent change in the other will put them out of sync. And there's nothing you can do about that at all, I'm afraid.

Can you add a low level background track of music or ambient sound to the whole piece? Fade it up in the gaps?
