Roku TV and Bose QuietComfort 35

Until recently, my Roku TCL Model 55R617 and Bose QC 35 headphones connected to give me a great audio/visual experience in a noisy environment. 
Now they no longer connect and headphones are not shown as a compatible audio devise. It appears I lost this in a software update. 
In one Roku post I read that I must add a Roku soundbar or wireless speakers (which I have no use for) to connect with headphones. 
How to fix?  All I want are the capabilities that were available when I purchased the TV.
