Yep - definitely the ALC850. And the intel ac97 drivers load up.
Incidentally, the vendor is DFI, not AFI. Typo on my part...

Mine only has the BIOS setting: "AC97 Audio" which can be set to "Auto"
or "Disabled". So no native mode... Alsa had no trouble loading the
drivers, and PCM audio worked just fine. It's just the AC3 audio that
doesn't work. If yours is working fine, can you post the 'lspci -v'
output and send me your asound.state and .asoundrc files?
