-9 is an obsolete epoch (from several months ago).  You meant
linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r).

Ingo's realtime flavour is much better suited for audio production.
Briefly, it offers much lower latency.  One tradeoff is significantly
reduced battery life (it's not tickless).

$(uname -r) is a shell expansion that one would type literally at the
shell prompt.  I used it precisely so you can avoid the -9 (epoch)
issues above; it resolves to your current running kernel flavour.  So
yes, sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r)
