Bluetooth audio output swipe down menu

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. I'm running Oreo. Whenever I would play music from Google Play or something, there used to be a little menu in the swipe down menu where I could easily change audio output devices. But at some point very recently that menu has disappeared and now changing output devices is clunky at best.

I have a samsung note and recently I noticed mine has disappeared as well. if I have need to change the output of my phone say from bluetooth speaker to bluetooth headphone, I can no long do that from the drop down menu.
How do I restore this setting?
