make modules_install only installs the modules that you compiled. Are you sure that you selected sound as modules? If you think that sound modules should have been built, make your .config available, together with the output from "ls -lR /lib/modules/2.2.17".

You should not mix modules from different kernels unless you know exactly what you are doing. It is not a recommended procedure.
