Bose Speakers Note Connecting Via Bluetooth

My 16-Inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2021) running MacOS Sonoma will not connect to either my Bose SoundLink Mini or my Bose SoundLink Mini II speakers. It connects fine to other bluetooth speakers, headphones, etc (Apple Air Pods Max/Pro, etc). When I try to connect to Bose speakers, however, the computer thinks it IS connected to the speakers (as do the speakers), but when I play sound, via Apple Music for example, the sound comes out of the computer's speakers, not the Bose speakers. Bose speakers work fine with other Apple products (iPhone, iPads, etc). I've updated speakers' software, restarted them, reverted to factory settings, and been on a chat for an hour with Bose about this, without solution. I've restarted my computer, etc. Not sure WHAT is going on! Any help is much appreciated y'all! Thanks!
