Thank you Rusty, 
and all others on Ubuntu forums

your suggestion helped me get sound working on my Ubuntu @Lenovo 3000
N200, after almost 6 months of ordeal. HOWEVER, there is one thing I
would like to suggest in addition -from my stupid experience- to help
many others,

To sum up again, do as suggested by others..
>sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add to the end of this file
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo enable=1 index=0
and then
>sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-tools restart

Try playing any sound/music file. Things should work. If not, may be my
experience could be of help to you:

I have had followed aforesaid steps on the very first day I installed Ubuntu 
Hardy on my laptop. Unfortunately, after these editions, during reboot my 
machine made a very very shrill beep ( i guess it were the Front Mic , just 
below the touch pad). That almost got my keypad heated up, and I was afraid 
something might go wrong. Yet, I took a chance and somehow bore that shrill 
noise to the annoyance of my flatmate, and on successful login put my sound to 
mute. 
Someday later, before trying anything fancy from these forums, to avoid that 
shrill noise, I set all the volume levels to very minimum using ALSA 
'alsamixer'. As a ill consequence, I never could hear anything even though the 
changes were made rightly.

By doing sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-tools restart, i need not reboot my machine, and 
therefore I could manage to raise the volume levels using 'alsamixer'. Execute 
on prompt
>alsamixer
You will see a graphical interface to set volume levels. I set all of them to 
red levels, except for Front Mic, because setting one of them to 100 % makes my 
Laptop make that shrill beep again even now, so kept it to 33%.

Strange and funny! But I hope it could be of help to others.

thanks!
