Windows 10: Notifications disabled still interfering with other apps

This is infuriating.

Seemingly out of the blue, when notifications are received, streaming video or audio playback in other apps stops.
YouTube seems to pause, HBO Max stalls has to be set back 15s while audio Amazon Music is just disconnected.
I did try changing browsers.

I recently installed Adobe Premiere Pro with simultaneously installed Media Encoder but I have since uninstalled them both.

I have disabled notifications in the Win10 settings.

From advice returned from a Google search, I attempted modifying the audio device settings to disable "exclusive mode."
No change.

I am confident it is something to do with notifications because I when seen on my phone, pretty much simultaneously the audio/video anomaly occurs.
