Sylvain_07 esound driver is no more. Truly no more. So yes uninstall it.

No one was maintaining it. Switch to Alsa.

Few people were using it has a hack to work around pulseaudio issues sorry if no coder is looking after a driver it dies.

Lets go to basics Sylvain_07

run winecfg then go to audio tab press make sure alsa alone is selected then try test sound do you get sound. If not alsa config is most likely off.

Next on the bottom of that page look at directsound. There is a hardware accelerated with full and emulation options. emulation is the most dependable. With Full on alsa tries to off load to sound card where esound would not. Esound forced emulation mode on because it provides no access to hardware. This could be the issue. A setting you have never need to set.
