Why do certain Blu's default to a 'lesser' sound quality???

I popped in Blackhawk Down for the first time tonight and the audio track just wasn't doing it for me.. After a couple minutes I checked the audio and noticed setting 1 was for Dolby Digital... I switched over to setting 2, which is PCM 5.1, and the difference was night and day..

Is there a reason they do this? I think i remember the dark knight being the same way..

I bet there are alot of people out there see "Dolby" on their screen, and assume its the best choice
