It appears that you have reverted to using modprobe.conf for no particular, logical reason.
You are now using trial-and-error, when what you really need is logic.

You should fix that before going any further. You messed with some bios settings earlier. I suggest that these need to be put back to normal. Better still, if you can find a bios setting something like "reset defaults" you should enable that, so the bios gets back to its factory state.
Now delete everything in modprobe.conf related to ALSA; which in your case is snd-es18xx.
Reboot. You should have no ALSA modules loaded (check with "lsmod") and no sound. That's good.
Now run these commands, one at a time -
Code: Select all
modprobe snd-es18xx isapnp=0 irq=5 dma1=1
Code: Select all
modprobe snd-es18xx isapnp=0 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=5
After running each command you should see nothing at the command prompt. This means the command was successful.
If you see any error messages, please report them, accurately.

Boy, I was just looking at that lsmod thing and it seems like there may be a whole bunch of sound junk there that doesn't belong. Do you think I should knock out any of this stuff before proceeding? Here is the laundry list:
