I forget something to say you. You must modify file
/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97.c that look line

{ 0x41445363, 0x00, 0, "AD1886A",       0 },

            { 0x41445368, 0x00, 0, "AD1888",          ad198x_patch }, => add
this line;

            { 0x41445370, 0x00, 0, "AD1980",          ad198x_patch },

After that you must unload snd_ich

$kldunload snd_ich

And again load snd_ich for affect that modified ac97.c

$kldload snd_ich

Then you can using enter Control Center active sound card, listen sound
test. I sure it must be ok at this point.

   baysao.
