Sound card installation ,sound server connection

Hi All
I installed my Ubuntu 6.06 few days back and was not able to configure the soundcard .(the volume control icon showed hda intel and Sigmatel STAC9221 A2 as the two devices).
After installing gstreamer plugins the players Totem,Kaffeine seemed to run the songs but no sound appeared(song tracker moved). alsamixer cmd showed the levels as 100 for each. tried for different formats ogg,spx,wav,mp3.........

When i looke up for solution i found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
And followed the steps 1 cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
                                         2 http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
                                         3 options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL
                                                    reboot

results 1 Codec: Sigmatel STAC9221 A2
                               2 searched my card in the Alsa txt and found this
                    STAC9220/9221

                          3 As my Motherboard is Intel 945 I replaced MODEL with 3stack as asked in the
                                              help.ubuntu.com site

Now after reboot,---------------the volume control icon got red (blocked) and error appears as "No volume control gstreamer plugin/device found."
                            ---------------the aplay cmd shows
ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'

                       ---------------------the cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec shows no such directory.
                     ---------------Totem on playing starts with error as could not establish connxn with sound server.
