Trouble with JRiver and both Bartók and Network Bridge

After some more testing, I think I’ve identified the culprit. First, I’ve taken both AQVOX switches out of the equation and connected like this :

In this configuration :

  • Network Bridge disappears [from JRiver]
  • Bartók OK

Next configuration :

In this configuration :

  • Network Bridge OK
  • Bartók OK

Next configuration :

In this configuration :

  • Network Bridge OK
  • Bartók disappears

Next configuration :

In this configuration :

  • Network Bridge OK
  • Bartók disappears

Next configuration :

In this configuration :

  • Network Bridge disappears
  • Bartók OK

So, in the end of the day, it looks like highly probable that D-LINK switches are causing the problem — or, at least, are a significant part of it. I put “switches” in the plural because the AQVOX switches are modified D-Link and this very fact seems to corroborate the diagnosis.

What’s your take on this ?
