    Why am I hearing notification sounds while Windows 10 focus assist is enabled?


    I love the Windows 10 focus assist feature, it really does filter out most notifications and helps me focus.


    I am having one issue with it though, some applications still play a notification sound even though focus assist does disable the notification banner. I have noticed this issue mainly with Slack. I am not sure if this is an issue in Slack implementation or an issue with focus assist.


    The notification sounds are still distracting even though banners are not shown. I am aware that I can mute certain applications or even the entire PC, but I would really like to be able to just enable/disable focus assist and that's it.


    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    :)
