Chromecast Audio's don't show on Samsung Galaxy S7

Hello everyone,
 
I'm having a strange issue. As a private smart phone i use a samsung galaxy S7. As a work phone I use a Galaxy A5. 
 
On my S7 Spotify Connect  does not show my chromecast audio in the device list when I arrive at home. When running spotify on my A5 it dóes show the chromecast audio. The rest of the settings is exactly the same.
 
I dont understand why there would be a difference between the two devices, from a spotify / chromecast / wifi perspective. If anything, the A5 has more security features since work requires it to be more protected. Which is why I want the S7 to work, it does not require any security / login and its quicker to use as a remote.
 
What did I do already?
- Replace acces point - everything on (perfect signal) 2.4 Ghz wifi
- Restart phones / force stop Spotify.
- Chromecast firmware latest version
- Phones updated
- Spotify updated
- Google home updated. 
 
Any help is greatly appreiciated. 
 
Forcing a restart through the android settings for the spotify app fixes the issues for that instance, but it requires a forced restart when connected to wifi each time. I'd like to not have to force a restart. 
 
As said, The A5 works fine and does not require such a forced restart. I have some pretty decent sound system with 3 chromecasts troughout my house, and this is a royal pain in an otherwise great streaming solution. 🙂
