That was just a brute-force method to get rid of any spurious sound modules you might have installed in the kernel's module tree. If you give that command _after reinstalling the linux-image, you're deleting the modules you have just reinstalled. When I said "purge" I meant the command 'dpkg --purge', or the corresponing action in aptitude. When explaining what you do, it's better to paste the actual things you typed. Commands speak louder than words. Or at least clearer.
