This means that a) you can't load a module, because it's built into the kernel or already loaded, or b) you need to fiddle with the card a bit.  I've seen several es137x cards get very grumpy when sharing an IRQ with another device, especially other sound cards.  Because it's a PCI device, you'll have to /physically/ move that card or any other card that shares the IRQ.
