I think Volume Control also has to be set to off. Did you disable CEC on the tv?

The option you turned off on the AppleTV applies to the AppleTV remote controlling other devices. If you're using ARC to send audio to your soundbar, that could be why you can't turn off CEC. ARC doesn't rely on CEC and it's dependent on the manufacturer/device as to having independent control of ARC/CEC, but that could explain why you can't turn off CEC. Worst case, you could get this to kill the CEC from TV to AppleTV.

In that case, if there is an option to turn of ARC try that and see if that kills the CEC as well
