Sound Glitch - PCM or Bitstream

[Leg2ion]

After trawling the internet just a little bit confused on sound settings.....

Every now and again when watching normal TV (Sky setup) or recordings through the Sky planner I get a small burst of static, after which the volume appears to decrease for a while. If anyone has any ideas on that I would be grateful.

After the above I looked into the sound settings on the TV - QE49Q7 - and saw the options for PCM or Bitstream for input and PCM or Dolby for output.  I guess my question is what are the better settings? I also have a DVD player hooked up on passthrough to the TV via a soundbar.

Dolby is for your TV and optical out and bitstream is to send to a surround amp. I leave mine on Dolby and Bitsteam.
