Do all four of these satellites appear to be working correctly?
What does the Orbi web interface Attached Devices page say about how the satellites are conected?
Does it show devices connected to the various satellites?
(As you may have guessed, I tend to feel more confident in the Orbi web interface than in the Orbi 'app'. When in doubt, I favor the web interface.)
In regards to the Orbi Voice, my Orbi 'app' has no section for Orbi Music. I can ask Alexa on my RBS40V to "Play KUSC" (a classical music station) or "Tell Plex to play..." to get music from my Plex server. Have no idea about KKBOX. That sounds like a question for KKBOX.
It's a mystery to me, but Netgear has set up separate community forums for the Orbi Voice
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Voice-WiFi-Meets-HiFI/bd-p/en-home-orbi-voice and for the Orbi 'app'
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/bd-p/en-home-orbi-app
Sometimes posting a question in those forums draws the attention of people who are more familiar with those things than people who read this 'general Orbi' forum.

p.s. I forgot to ask the model number of this unmanaged switch.
And, deliberately avoided expressing envy that you have ethernet wiring to support these connections. Running cable in my 60 year old house is a challenge I have yet to overcome.
