XBOX interrupting HomePod mini playback?

Hello, new to HomePod ownership and looking for some insight.

When I have my XBOX turned on, my wife and I have been noticing that the HomePod is having interruptions in playback.

For instance, I'm playing a game online, and my wife has music streaming through the HomePod from her phone, but it either totally cuts off playback of any audio from her phone, or stutters for minutes, then off again after a few seconds.

I turned off the Xbox and the playback returns to normal. I tested it again, turned on the Xbox and the playback interruption returned. Turned the Xbox back off and HomePod returned to normal playback.

I turned off all the device settings for allowing the Xbox to control other devices when it turns on, and turned off the eArc TV controls in the XBOX's settings.

The XBOX's network is hardwired to the router. Both the homepod and Xbox are within 20 feet of the router.

Any feedback on possible fixes? Thanks.
