I've had this problem extensively with Premiere Pro CS3. The audio goes completely out of whack when you capture HDV footage if, while shooting the tape, you somehow lost complete timing continuity from shot to shot. You typically break continuity if you remove a tape, put it back in, rewind almost to the end of the last shot, and then start shooting again. The timing works in the camera, but there seems to be a slight glitch in the timing that's recorded.
For some reason, Premiere can't handle the timing problem during capture even though other programs have no problem with it. The result is really bad audio sync, so bad in some cases that 30 minutes into the tape I have the audio from the beginning of the tape. The capture is completely worthless as far as audio is concerned. I'm sorry to hear that CS5.5 has the same problem. It's a serious shortcoming that Adobe should be ashamed to have left unfixed for so long. The only solution I found was to capture in another program and then work with the files in Premiere, which it sounds like Gerry is planning to do. If you've got Adobe Production Premium, it includes Adobe On Location, which captures from HDV just fine with no audio sync problems. I use it to capture HDV tapes.
