JackRouter ASIO driver reported "STOPPED" by ASIO bridge

[nettings]

I can use JackRouter from REAPER on Windows 10 without problems. However, the task is to get all system audio into JACK running as a net slave, and from there to a Linux machine.

Since Windows system audio cannot use ASIO devices, I'm using HiFi-Cable / ASIO Bridge. Its purpose is to provide a virtual audio endpoint for Windows to use as a default sink, and to pipe that into an ASIO device, ideally JackRouter.
This tool works correctly with the ASIO4ALL driver on my built-in hardware, but reports JackRouter as "STOPPED". It does the same for my Dante Virtual Soundcard (which is correct in this case, because that driver is indeed not running). Apparently, Reaper knows something that ASIO Bridge does not and is able to start the JackRouter driver. Any clues?

Hi,

When I keep Reaper at the top of the screen, my ASIO4ALL driver shows me a "triangle", for "active".
If not, it shows me a "square", for "idle".

If I were you, I'd rather ask for some advice by the ASIO Bridge provider. Maybe they can help.
ASIO Bridge has no GUI, meanwhile ASIO4ALL has one, so you can check the status.

Have you seen that VoiceMeeter by the same provider offers you the choice of the canal in Reaper settings, as JackRouter does, not ASIO Bridge itself.

So, maybe by keeping JackRouter through QJackCtl at the top of the screen ?
(it's just the beginning of a tiny clue)

Cheers.
