This middleware is what gives a lot of creative freedom in the interactive design and integration. If you are working on a commercial title you need to consider licenses, but they usually all have some sort of deal (if not free) for Indie titles, students, or simply to use on non-commercial projects. In my opinion, the best one out there is by far Wwise (read the Audio Middleware Comparison post to understand why). On the market, whether your game is made with Unity, Unreal or any other game engine, there are a few options in terms of audio middleware, which are usually compatible with any of the game engines (although not always).
