STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair bluetooth audio device
2. Go to system setting for Audio

Can you verify that the devices are actually connected at the time you expect to see them on the Audio page? Being paired isn't enough.

OK that seem to have fixed it, I tired again. This time it auto-connected and showed up (was not doing this before). 
I then tired disconnecting and re-connecting and do see the device in audio setting.
Closing as working.

Hello, the bluetooth device stop shoping up again under "Audio settings". 
I've reconnected and disconnected multiple times. 
This time it is just not working.
