Audio Track Priority?

I noticed that on some of my Blu-Ray movies the English Track 1 is only DD 5.1 and Track 2 is TrueHD for DTS-MA. Is there a way to make my PS3 default to the higher quality audio track without having to select it in the Movie Menu Setup? The other day I put in The Matrix Revolutions and it started playing the movie right away and I never got a chance to change the audio until after it was already playing. Kind of annoying.

No. Warner sucks. This no longer happens on their new releases.

No - its the studios who select what track plays first. In most cases its lossless unless Warner is involved. They just recently fixed that.

(Keep in mind some titles simply don't have a lossless track either)

Discs with PCM almost never default to the lossless track either.
