Hi Pinehurst_Ken,
Thank you for joining the HP Community! I did some research into your issue connecting the Bose speakers. A2DP is not something that is available on all Bluetooth devices and is not common in all laptops. The speakers themselves are mainly designed to work with tablets and cell phones. If you can provide me with the Bluetooth adapter that you have in your model I will take a look to see if I can find anything.
Thank you,
