MacBook Pro no bluetooth to Bose Mini Soundlink II Speaker.

MacBook Pro 16. Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1 can no longer maintain Bluetooth connection with Bose Mini Soundlink II.   It connects, then when I go to Sound, it's not an output option.  I go back to Bluetooth and it's disconnected again.  The Bose product software is up to date- I've checked twice.   Pairing with the Bose speaker was fine until the update right before Ventura 13.4.1.  Problem happens whether or not my iphone is also connected to the speaker and/or has bluetooth turned on.

All other devices seem to be pairing fine. (mouse/airpods)

Thanks for any insight.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4
