I ran the game and when the Vault-tec guy speaks his mouth moves then 1 second later I hear the audio and when he says 2 lines he gets to 3/4 of the first line said, then starts the next line so I have 2 voices over lapping till he is finished the first line, and my character also does the same, so I have Video to Audio or Audio to Video lag, I have never had this before any suggestions how to fix it.

No I don't have that where do I get that from? And how is it installed.
Here it is on Nexus:
FO4Edit
FO4Edit is the Fallout 4 version of xEdit. xEdit is an advanced graphical module viewer/editor and conflict detector.
www.nexusmods.com
Installation
Nothing needs to be "installed" for Xedit (the generic term for the editor) to function correctly. Simply download the archive manually, not through your manager, and extract the archive to a folder using your preferred compression software. (WinZip, .7z, or WinRAR are all fine)
Typically you would right click on the archive and select "Extract to FO4Edit 3.2-2737-3-2/"
Then simply copy the folder, and paste it into your FO4 game folder (not the data folder) open the folder, right click on FO4Edit.exe, and select Send To, and desktop. You're installed.
Typically the game folder is located at X:/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fallout 4, where X: is your game drive.

Yes I use Steam I just looked and I don't see X: in there, I see Data/ src/ Then lots of files underneath no X. Sorry to be a pain in the neck.
X is just a place holder, for you it would be whatever drive your games are saved in. If you only have one drive than it would be C.
Also if you have steam you can try opening Steam, go to library, Right click on Fallout, Click Properties on the drop down menu. Then click installed files, then the last item on the right side says "Verify integrity of game files. Click this and wait a few minutes. It should tell you if something is wrong with the game it's self. If there is then you may need to reinstall the game.

I just Validated it and all is OK. and I will do it again once I have installed FO4 Edit. Thanks
Just click the one you have highlighted and wait; the main screen will open then a second window will open that lists all of your mods. It should open with all of them selected, hit OK and then edit will run. I always get another pop up for UFO4P where it askes if I want all of them, I answer yes. Depending on your mods you may get more pop ups.
The first time I ran FO4edit it said some things were out of sequence and it fixed those, then after adding a few new mods I ran it and it said I had duplicate files and it fixed that.
Once it's done running you can right click on the left side and it brings up a menu select "apply filter to show conflict"
Choose that and then wait, it takes a while if you have a lot of mods.
Once it's done, at the bottom will be a new button, View, click on that and then the right side will show you all the details. Ones that are red have a conflict.
I am still trying to learn what to do with those and how to fix if needed.
Even without fixing those conflicts, just the eliminating the dups and sequence has helped my game a lot.
I am looking for videos that will help and if I find a good one I will share with you.

I followed the instructions you gave I applied filter and a big window opened and in the bottom right corner a button saying filter so I clicked that and this I what came up next 
I hope I did this right, I see the red highlights Thanks I hope you do find a fix for those, what are all the ones highlighted in yellow?
and I agree with what you said "I haven't seen anyone else coming up with any ideas, which is kind of surprising." I appreciate you taking time and patience with me Many Thanks.

That looks perfect.
Now if you click on the view button at the bottom of the right side you can see info on each mod when you hit the +.
I believe that the yellow indicates something that another file is overwriting but doesn't cause a conflict.
You are vey welcome, I have been learning a lot myself by trying to help, so it's a win-win.
Ok, I just learned something new.
On Vortex it uses a program called Loot to sort your mods. Loot can also tell you if you have additional issues.
On Vortex go to the plugin screen, on the line where it has status, name etc. go all the way to the right and there is a gear, click and enable "Loot Messages"
Then under the heading flags, click on the drop down menu. If you select "dirty" if will list all files that need to be cleaned.
I have read that you shouldn't clean the Official DLC files so just ignore those.
I then made a list of the others that needed cleaning, closed Vortex and went back to FO4edit.
You should have a second file in the folder where you downloaded edit that says quick clean. Open this, select one of your dirty files and then OK.
The file will then be cleaned and you can select the next file. You can only clean one at a time. And I noticed that when I selected my file, some of the masters were automatically selected so don't worry about that.
Hope this makes sense.
I would do screen prints but am having issues with that right now.
