For our videoshoots we use one (or multiple) cameras and a ZOOM H6 recorder for audio.
I should specify that the audio from camera and ZOOM are both very clear and audible.
After importing the footage and audio, I select all of the clips, right click and choose "Auto Sync Audio >> Based on Waveform and Append Tracks".
The software does its analysis and that's when the trouble starts.
Often times, it says some clips could not be matched. Even though the exact same number of audio and video clips are selected, all of which can easily synced by, for example Premiere Pro.
The appended tracks aren't even remotely related. Sometimes it syncs the "clap" sound from the slate as significant audio event but all the rest is wrong.
Here's a screenshot of one of the appended tracks, as you can see, the waveform doesn't match at all:

My "work-around" has been to sync audio in Premiere Pro, throw it on one timeline and export the timeline back to Davinci. Which is quite inconvenient.
In the previous betas it didn't work well either and I'm not sure if Resolve14 was any better.
In short: auto sync based on waveform is quite unusable.
