What I am hoping to do is be able to switch from sound active mode TO being able to control the lighting with my computer without having to go to each fixture?
I hope I have asked this correctly.

The only way this is possible is if your fixtures have a sound active function in the dmx traits of the fixture. Other than that there is no way to switch your fixtures from sound active back to dmx mode.

Sorry, I am completely new to this MYDMX software, well and to the lighting part of my show. So it sounds like it is part of the profile associated with each fixture, then it will work?
It will work, like Jingles said, if your fixtures support a sound activation mode.
Look on the back of your fixtures. Is there a sensitivity control, like a volume knob? If so, your ready to go.
The instructions that (hopefully) came with your fixture(s) will state the DMX value for the sound activation mode.
Use MyDMX to send the fixture(s) the DMX value for sound activation and save that as a scene.
Shazam ... you're in business with a scene that uses sound activation.

Will the fixtures be in sync? I have 6 mega pars and the mydmxbuddy. How do I have all the lights change to the music but be in sync of one another using my dmx.

No, the fixtures might not be in sync, as each one will go off of it's own internal mic, not any mic on the computer or anything.
