ac3 requires a separate plugin for older versions of vegas. You had to pay for it separate. You could open it with Sound Forge or the likes and convert it to wave. That might change something in the timing though. I am not sure. Probably not that much that would make a difference since you are syncing new audio.

ac3 never syncs correctly in Vegas 6. Convert it to wave first, as stated above, and then put it in Vegas. I've not had issues with the converted wave not syncing, but it is possible.
