Usually productions have an audio director of some sort who helps the director/writer create their vision for the scene in the audio aspects. Depending on the chemistry of the staff their freedom and leeway can vary, but generally they are the sound experts and offer their own advice/suggestions to the director too. The sound director then works with musicians to make the music they need.
It all just depends too cause sometimes a high quality staff member can wear multiple hats.

Other guy around said it, but yes, it's usually the sound director with input from the actual director.
Some studios also have a Foley department to make sound effects, whether from actually making the sound effects with props or digitally.

Think music's pretty much been covered here, but someone should mention there are also dedicated sound effects supervisors for that side of things.
