Each module has dependencies that are resolved when you run 'depmod'. So, when you run 'modprobe', it will load the modules it depends on. If it doesn't load 'sound', then it doesn't need it.
Or it doesn't know that it needs it, because the modules don't use it explicitly. In other words, when you load es1370 or es1371 with modprobe, having set up the dependency file correctly, you still don't get the sound because there's an implicit, unrecorded dependency. That's what my experience suggests. With alsa, the situation might be different.
