Audio Drops Out on Discovery Channel

I have this problem only on Discovery Channel on DirecTV.

Changing the sound setting on the satellite receiver to turn Dolby to Off stops the audio drop outs but also reduces the surround sound quality.

As I'm only having the audio dropouts on Discovery I've left Dolby of for better sound on all channels.

I don't have a separate setting for PCM on the DirecTV box.

On my LG Smart TV, going into settings=>SOUND=>and turning the AI SOUND PRO to "Standard" seems to have fixed the issue on the Discovery Channel. The root cause is probably the level of broadcast volume or they're sending audio on some different format (my completely unscientific guess) that messes with the AI SOUND PRO "feature".  This is my first "smart" TV---Will never buy one of these again. Nothing but problems.
