I strongly suggest upgrading your audio to match the 4k era. The Bose does not have a HDMI input or fiber optic input so all you would get is stereo through the Bose. Also Bose will process input sounds and was not set up to decode 5.1 or 7.1 . There are some really good deals now on last years 4k Av receivers....Onkyo and denon....look for Dobly atmos as well.
I would recommend:
- Onkyo - TX 7.2-Ch. Hi-Res 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

- Denon - 1295W 7.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD and 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

Check the type of connections to the Bose. The new TV's get their best sound thru the Audio in pin wire. HDMI is second. Check your sound settings the TV first.
