The codec and the sound card are two seperate things. The FM801 
hardware has an AC97 digital interface that talks to a codec chip
of which there are a considerable number. Which one depends on
who made the specific board you have. The ac97 side isnt part
of the FM801 any more than a PC motherboard automatically
has an Intel CPU
