There is a seemingly related but frozen topic on this from a decade ago. Surprising this is still happening to people. 

This on a Macbook Pro M1 (16-inch, 2021), running Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224)

I have a shared folder containing all my music which is not an Apple Music / iTunes library. It has read access for everyone.

I set in Privacy & Security > Full Disc Access: added Sonos and restarted it.

It isn’t connecting, here is the error dialog:

I’m not sure what username/password it’s complaining about. I’m giving it the admin credentials.

Often the best option for this kind of problem is a call to support as tehy can see the internal logs hidden from users.

 

You probably need the SMB sharing user and password if your Mac is set to require them.
