It is impossible to measure the frequency response of Edifier R1700BT speakers

Hello! It seems I have caught a big bug in REW -_-
I bought a UMIK-1 microphone and Edifier R1700BT speakers, decided to measure the frequency response using REW 5.31.5 and it didn't work.
When measuring at a frequency of 7 kHz a break occurs. After measuring, the subsequent signal through REW is not played until you feed the sound through another program/player. Moreover, before this, I successfully measured the frequency response of headphones and did not observe any such problems.
I will attach a graph, a video and a screenshot of the settings. The speakers were connected via RCA cable to the Topping EX5 DAC.

Use the output device name that starts with EXCL. Note that some DACs mute their output after a short time if one channel doesn't have a signal.

I tried to select a device starting with EXCL, but the test still stopped at 7 kHz.
Then I checked all the devices for auto-switching off when a signal was applied to only one channel, they all continued to work and did not fall asleep.
I decided to use the built-in audio card, the measurement was successful! Then I returned to the DAC Topping EX5 and selected the output channel L+R, instead of R, and the measurement was successful! I still did not understand the connection between the channel selection and the device, but I am happy with the result. Thanks for trying to help John ;)
 
If the problem is DAC muting they often only check one channel for the presence of data, typically the left.
