Before 14.2 update my Bluetooth speakers stayed connected to ATV when it goes to sleep, only time I needed to reconnect them through deep bluetooth menu is after tvOS updates, which is not big of a deal.
After 14.2 my speakers are disconnecting every time ATV goes to sleep. Now every time I turn back my ATV I need to go to the deep bluetooth menu to connect them back or manually press button on the speaker.
Was finally able to update to TVOS version 14.3 last night. So far it seems to be working. Just to be on the safe side, I turned off my speaker, unpaired the speaker, turned it back on, and then paired to my Apple TV. So far it's holding. My Apple TV has turned off (sleep) several times while the speaker remained connected.
I have the dame issue. Apple please fix this.
I'd suggest you send feedback here:

tvOS 14+ has introduced som enew Airplay issues for me wheer the selected audio output is lost after say an episode plays.
It's a real chore to have to use control centre or other methods to reconnect, I'd rather the setting was permanent until changed.
I have a Samsung soundbar that used to stay connected to the ATV when put to sleep, but now, with tvOS 14.2 (immediately after updating), the soundbar disconnects when the ATV sleeps. SUPER ANNOYING! I have to go into settings every time I turn on the tv! Software update does nothing. I’ve tried restarting the ATV to see if it was just a glitch, but nothing is fixing it. Can we get an update to fix this?
The new sleep button on apple tv says “sleep: all connected devices”. I think that some how linked the sleep button to disconnecting bluetooth devices now. Either way this is a critical bug because my wife is now upset with me that everytime she turns on the tv the speakers wont work, and why cant we just use a normal tv.
Come on apple please release a fast fix for this.
I think I might have a workaround until the 14.3 update is available. When you lose the connection with your speaker, rather than reconnecting it in settings, go to the speaker and power off and then power it back on again. It should reconnect on its own. So far, today the connection has lasted a lot longer than usual. And yesterday it seemed to work as well. It will still disconnect after entering sleep mode, but at least it will last a while rather than it being a constant nuisance.
Post in this thread if you got it to work!
Updated to version 14.3 and it seems to be partially fixed. My Apple TV 4K keeps disconnecting from my SoundCraft CS3 soundbar after a reboot. The soundbar is not visible in default audio output list even when connected. Apple, this and similar crap is happening not for the first time. When to disconnect a device is not your decision. If you make such a change, add settings and let the user decide when and what to disconnect or keep connection.
Have same issue at Apple TV 4 after update from 14.0 to 14.2. I try to full reset my device but it was unhelpful. Now I have sent feedback.
Yeah, the issue is solved in the next version. I installed the beta in my device and works perfectly again.
This happens to Airplay speakers now as well, as you cannot choose them on the Default Audio Output menu anymore.
tvOS 14.3 beta repair bluetooth connection fail. My soundbar reconnect to Apple TV after sleep.
After 14.2 bluetooth speakers are disconnecting when Apple TV 4K goes to sleep
