This is not a bug for Dell Installs. On Dell Laptops, if you have modem
support your modules comes from Dell ppa. If you want modem *and* sound
working together you must stay with Dell ppa packages. Maybe you should
stick the modules package version to Dell ppa repos.

user at dell-laptop:~$ sudo apt-cache policy linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-23-generic

As you can see, there is no Dell version of 2.6.24-24, so sound is
broken when you update because you get package from ubuntu updates.
