Does anyone have good tips/tricks to handle Sound Effects in game?

Adding million "play sound effect X" lines all over the code seems wrong, but cannot think another solution. There are so many different places and event that need sound effects so some kind of general solution does seem viable.

I would love to hear your solutions or how you handle the audio in your games!

In my humble experience what solved (considering the engine), I've a singleton for the audio, I call from this to request any SFX, it will make all the spawning of the objects that I need for the audio, clean up and such. Additionally, it allows me to add some variation on the sound (pitch, tempo, speed, volume...), so I can be as precise I need for some SFX, while leave randomness for others.
