AC97 sound card on 6.1

[Dave]

Hello,
    I'm atempting to get an integrated AC97 sound card working under 6.1. I 
know this card works, loading the snd_driver module finds it, but i do not 
know which actual module works it over. I'd rather not have to load 26 sound 
modules just the ones i actually need. I've checked /boot/kernel/snd* but 
didn't find anything AC97 and googling showed that others had asked, but no 
clear answer. If anyone has this going i'd appreciate hearing about it, and 
also any difficulties with quality or getting applications going.
Thanks.
Dave.
